■ Determines the room height. See Defining Room Height on page 930 and Considering Ceilings and Floors
in Room Volume Computations on page 932.
■ Uses the room area and the room height to compute the room volume.
Situations That Can Affect Room Volume Computations
In a few cases, the room volume that Revit Architecture computes may not reflect unique features of a room.
For example, if a room-bounding element does not reach the upper boundary of the room, space above the
element may not be included in the room volume.
For example, if a partial wall or architectural column that does not reach the ceiling or roof is defined as
room-bounding, Revit Architecture does not include the space above the element in the room volume. In
the following section view, the green columns do not reach the roof, and the white space above them
indicates space that Revit Architecture omits from the room volume computation.
To avoid this situation, turn off the Room Bounding parameter for the elements. (Right-click the element,
and click Element Properties. Clear the Room Bounding Parameter, and click OK.) In this case, the volume
of those elements (and the space above them) is included in the room volume computation.
Note that Revit Architecture may also omit parts of the room from its volume computations due to a
combination of sloping walls and the defined computation height. See
Computation Height on page 926.
Enabling Volume Computations
NOTE Volume computations may affect Revit Architecture performance. You can turn on volume computation
to prepare and print schedules or other views that report volumes. Then turn off the feature.
