Area Boundaries

Area boundaries define usable space in buildings. You can define these areas by drawing them or by picking
walls.
If you select the Apply Area Rules option, Revit Architecture automatically changes the wall boundary
position when you change the area type. (See
at the wall centerline, while exterior area is measured to the exterior wall face. By applying area rules, the
area boundary position updates in accordance with area type changes.

To pick area boundaries

If you select more than one level, Revit Architecture creates a separate area plan for each level
and groups them by area scheme in the Project Browser.
Revit Architecture prompts you to automatically create area boundary lines associated with all
external walls. See Area Boundaries
Yes: Revit Architecture places the boundary lines along the exterior walls of a closed loop.
No: You sketch the area boundary lines.
TIP Revit Architecture cannot automatically create area boundary lines in external walls that are not
closed in a loop.
TIP If the project includes a ruled curtain system within the exterior wall loop, you must sketch the
area boundary, because ruled curtain systems are not walls.
