Rooms In Section Views - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

If you need to change the boundaries of a room, change the Room Bounding parameter for model elements,
or add room separation lines. See Room-Bounding Elements on page 917 and Room Separation Lines on page
918.
If a room has sloped walls, ceilings, or other surfaces, you can check a section view to determine whether
Revit Architecture is measuring the room perimeter at the appropriate height. See Computation Height on
page 926.

Rooms in Section Views

Use a section view to visually check the upper and lower boundaries of a room. You can also use a section
view to check the perimeter of a room that has sloped walls or other atypical features.
In section views, the graphic display of room boundaries varies depending on whether volume computation
is turned on or off. (See Enabling Volume Computations on page 929.)
When volume computation is turned off
When volume computation is turned off, Revit Architecture shows the room as a rectangle in a section view.
If any part of the room (such as the walls, ceiling, or roof) slopes, the room boundary does not follow the
slope. This representation of the room does not reflect actual boundary settings and volume computations.
Instead, it shows a rough estimation of the upper and lower boundaries of the room.
