Setting up the right room height?

[mostapha]

Hi @davi,

@davi

The first option (computing volume) requires significantly more effort, and the model needs to be very clean. However, this approach may be necessary for certain rooms, for example those with inclined roofs or complex geometries.

You should always use the extruded mode. Even for the rooms with inclined roofs. The roofs are automatically resolved by the Revit plugin. We’re removing the Full Volume option from v3.

@davi

Why does it try to find it, when it is defined in the room/space property (height)?

Because almost always the values are left to the default value and not set correctly.

@davi

no effect:

Ask differently: How do you get individual room/space heights into Pollination? (fixed heights)

I’m not sure what is going on with your model. If you can share the model with me, I will have a closer look. I can’t replicate the issue on my end.

That said, and to answer your second question, the better place to set the room height is the Model Editor. See the discussion here:

Changing room height UI is always confusing

Hi @alterleon, I hear your pain and I totally agree. My workaround has been to use this workflow for adding the windows: Which means I can do all the height changes to the roof inside the Model Editor. Would that work for you? As you have probably seen we have removed all these steps in the Revit plugin v3 from the Revit interface to the Model Editor.

Let me know if you have any questions.
