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

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.

Gross Building Area Scheme Types

Rentable Area Scheme Types

Note: Windows in Rentable Area Scheme Types: If you place windows within the exterior walls, Revit LT places the area boundary lines according to the following rules based on the height of the windows: If window height is greater than 50% of wall height, area boundary lines go to face of glass. If window height is less than 50% of wall height, area boundary lines go to interior face of the exterior walls.

  1. Thank you for sharing this -
    Now I can create BOMA area plans, NYS Code compliance area plans, Schematic Design overall area plans and so on... Fantastic - just what I needed. I just wish that areas were more intuitive.
