Revit area plans adding new types and references (Gross and rentable)

October 09, 2013

Note to self:
Add additional (duplicate) gross area and net area schemed under Area Plans

And Area schemes... Really counter-intuitive place to put this instead of say... Area Plans> New Type> Edit Type (ADD) or Create an area plan, then Go to Properties, Edit Type and Duplicate...

Always seem to forget this one!

2015-10-16-And for the calculation type...
To update: this also applies to Revit as well as LT-

The gross calculations cannot be overridden, however the 'rentable' comes in various flavors... From AD Revit help:

Applies to Revit LT 2015

Rules are determined by one type of space bordering another space.
The following table shows area measurement rules. To find the appropriate measurement rule, find the selected Area Type and the corresponding Bordering Area Type.

Organization and management of data in Revit across omniclass, Masterformat, Uniclass, and Uniformat

October 20, 2016

The organization and management of data and connectivity to other platforms for cost estimation, categorization, scheduling/phasing, model verification, a360 integration must utilize and integrate multiple points of information to be effective. I believe this would integrate well with the playbook concept.
We discussed UNIFORMAT vs CSI MASTERFORMAT- but there larger picture must consider an a means of integration; I believe this management will require a database (ACCESS or SQL) or possibly A360 PLAN.
OMNICLASS(Largely ISO Compliant)as an overarching format and documentation organization which manages or contains CSI MASTERFORMAT which we should use for component, classification and specification management which then links into the 'containers' of the UNIFORMAT for order and assembly of construction. None of these systems stand alone for a complete approach to managing and organizing our data.
All this should be intermingled using a database to specify LOD, Milestones, assem…

(C)R. E. Allen 2013

Ron Allen: I have deep roots in Architecture, Computer Science and Art (3D Visualization) underpinning an integrated vision of Architecture, Construction and technology.

I have always been a problem solver. Whenever I hear a problem or issue I immediately begin thinking of ways to resolve it. To me the process of learning, discovery, research, problem solving, goal setting and resolution is quite gratifying. I will work unrelenting to resolve or finish unless required to move on.

I am working towards Architectural and Technological experience in Virtual Design and Construction. I believe through VDC, Architecture can revive its origins and reunite solid design with construction with a modern twist of cinching up schedules and eliminating waste.

I have wide range of experience in several areas having worked on architectural projects which include production, detailing, code research, consultant coordination, single/multi family, commercial, Military (65M), VA (140M), Healthcare (600M) and hospitality as well as themed projects(>500M) and casinos. I have worked on architectural drawings and architectural designs through schematic design, some 3d energy analysis in Revit, I have worked as a BIM manager creating, implementing and managing firm wide office and CAD standards. I have worked through design development, construction documents and coms contract administration work for. I enjoy complicated problem solving and management for new projects or renovations to existing conditions using point clouds.

Revit has been my tool of choice for 7+ Years and I have 15+ years in AutoCAD/ AutoCAD Architecture.

I am completing my IDP and hope to be licensed in in Florida; California, Colorado.

I’m actively seeking new career opportunities in Colorado; Please contact me if you have any openings.
