Building Pads Are Room-Bounding
When calculating the area or volume of a room, Revit Architecture now considers a building pad to be a
room-bounding element. If desired, you can turn off this element parameter. See
Room-Bounding Elements
on page 917.
Room Boundaries in Linked Models
In previous releases, when you linked Revit models together, Revit Architecture did not recognized
room-bounding elements in the linked model. As a result, you were not able to place a room between walls
(or other elements) in the host project and walls in the linked model.
In Revit Architecture 2009, you can now make the software recognize the room-bounding elements of a
linked model. See
Room Boundaries in Linked Models on page 920.

Tag Enhancements for Rooms and Areas
In Revit Architecture 2009, you can do the following:
■
Use the Tag All Not Tagged tool to simultaneously tag all rooms or areas that have not yet been tagged.
■ Change the orientation of a tag to be horizontal, vertical, or aligned with walls or boundary lines in the
building model.
■ Rotate the tag using the Rotate tool.
See Room Tags on page 922 and Areas and Area Tags on page 948.
