Setting for Areas and Volumes Is Not Checked

Warning: The setting for Areas and Volumes is not checked. The volumes will be approximate. Please check
the Volume Computation settings in Area and Volume Computations.
Issue: This warning displays when you attempt to export to gbXML and volume computation is turned off.
With volume computation turned off, exported information about room volumes is less accurate.
Solution: Turn on volume computation. See

Area Analysis

Use area analysis tools to define spatial relationships in the building model.

Area Schemes

Area schemes are definable spatial relationships. For example, you can have an area scheme showing the
relationship between core and circulation spaces in a floor plan.
Area plan with area scheme applied
You can create multiple area schemes. By default, Revit Architecture creates 2 area schemes:
Gross Building: Total constructed area of a building.
Rentable: Area measurements based on the standard method for measuring floor area in office buildings.
You cannot edit or delete the Gross Building area scheme. The Rentable area scheme is modifiable. You can
create additional area schemes as needed.
