Changing the Room Height Graphically
In a section view, you can change the height of a room graphically by adjusting the upper and lower
boundaries of the room. When you change the boundaries of a room graphically, Revit Architecture
automatically updates the corresponding room parameters: Upper Limit, Limit Offset, and Base Offset. (See
Defining Room Height Parameters on page 993.)
To change the height of a room graphically
1 Open a section view that contains rooms.
See Rooms in Section Views on page 980.
2 Select the room whose height you want to change.
See Selecting a Room on page 978.
Revit Architecture displays upper and lower arrow controls.
3 To change the upper or lower boundary of the room, pull the corresponding control 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 283.
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 989. The dashed line for the computation
height displays only when you select the room in a section view.
