You can select the mass in any type of project view, including floor plan, RCP, elevation, section,
and 3D views.
3 On the Options Bar, click Mass Floors.
4 In the Mass Floors dialog, select each level that needs a mass floor, and click OK.
Initially, if you select a level that the mass does not intersect, Revit Architecture does not create
a mass floor for that level. However, if you later resize the mass so that it intersects the specified
level, Revit Architecture creates a mass floor on that level.
Mass floors
After creating mass floors, you can do any of the following:
■ Select a mass floor to view its properties (including area, perimeter, exterior surface area, and volume)
and assign a usage. See
Selecting Mass Floors on page 526 and Mass Floor Properties on page 540.
■ Tag mass floors. See Tagging Mass Floors on page 528.
■ Create building floors from mass floors. See Creating Floors Using the Floor by Face Command on page
547.
Selecting Mass Floors
After creating mass floors, you can select each mass floor individually. When you move the cursor over a
mass floor, the tooltip and status bar display the following:
Mass Floor : Mass Floor for <mass name> : <level>
If the status bar displays the name of the mass instead of the mass floor, press TAB to highlight the mass
floor.
When the mass floor is highlighted, click to select it.
You cannot change the shape of a mass floor by manipulating it directly. Instead, change the shape of its
mass. Revit Architecture automatically updates all affected mass floors and related information.
