Join Paul F. Aubin for an in-depth discussion in this video Understanding room bounding elements, part of Revit Architecture 2016 Essential Training (Metric).
- In this movie I wanna continue our exploration…of room objects and dig a little bit deeper…into the room bounding property.…Now, we've already seen that walls are…room bounding by default and in cases…where we don't have any boundary between…the two rooms we wanna create, we can create a…room separation line, which is a room bounding model line.…But there may be situations where you actually…wanna disable the Room Bounding feature,…so let me show you an example right here.…I'm gonna zoom in on this bedroom area down here…in the lower left-hand corner, now at the moment…if I kind of move my mouse around in here…and find the room right there, you can see…that it's got this little notch sticking out of it…for the closet in the right-hand side of the room.…
Now, if I look over at the Properties palette,…it's about 14.8 meters squared, now let's say…I wanted to think of the bedroom as both…the bedroom and the closet, so I want it…to kind of ignore the fact that that was…a separate space in there and not give it its own room.…

5/28/2015Paul also shows advanced techniques for modeling stairs, complex walls, and partially obscured building elements, as well as adding rooms and solid geometry. Finally, discover how to annotate your drawing so all the components are perfectly understood, and learn how to output sheets to DWF, PDF, or AutoCAD.
