To change the height of a room graphically
1 Open a section view that contains rooms.
See Rooms in Section Views on page 916.
2 Select the room whose height you want to change.
See Selecting a Room on page 914.
Revit Architecture displays upper and lower grips.
3 To change the upper or lower boundary of the room, pull the corresponding grip up or down.
Revit Architecture displays listening dimensions to indicate the distance of the upper and lower
boundaries from the upper limit and base level of the room. You can enter a value directly, if
desired. See
Listening Dimensions on page 233.
The dashed line across the room indicates the computation height, that is, the height at which
Revit Architecture computes the area and perimeter of the room. Computation Height is a type
parameter for levels. See
Computation Height on page 926. The dashed line for the computation
height displays only when you select the room in a section view.
If the Areas and Volumes option is turned on, the room boundary follows any sloping elements, such as
roofs, walls, and ramps. If Areas and Volumes is turned off, the room boundary does not follow sloping
elements.
Considering Ceilings and Floors in Room Volume Computations
If the room height does not reach upper or lower room-bounding elements, Revit Architecture uses the
specified upper and lower boundaries to compute the height and the resulting volume of the room.
For example, the following section view shows a room that starts at Level 1 and goes up to Level 2, but its
upper boundary is not defined by a ceiling, roof, or other room-bounding element. Regardless, Revit
Architecture uses the specified room height when computing the room volume.
