Room data sheets (or RDS) are used to systematically capture the information and needs for each space of a project. These are usually prepared by the client during the time of briefing (also known as architectural programming in the US) of the design process. They could be revised throughout the http://www.searchstreams.info/room-data-sheets-example-for-management/ design process to reflect changes or provide a clearer picture to those responsible for delivering a project.
The Room Data Sheets SmartTool allows you to create room (or space) sheets of data using the Revit project. It’s a fast and precise tool that can be used for sheet, elevation and schedule views. The tool is able to generate 3D plans elevations, sheets, and schedule views of rooms or spaces.
The default setting is to utilize the Room Numbering template and the Sheet Format created by the Revit project, however, a different sheet name and style may be selected from the Tool Options tab. Click ‘Load configuration …’ on the toolbar to replace the current settings with previously saved configurations. This reduces the amount needed for manual rework for different dimensions and types of rooms.
The tab ‘Naming’ allows users to choose whether the chosen room/space is included in the Sheet Name text box that appears on the left side of the screen. ‘View Name:’ specifies the text that appears in the title bar of every view, while the ‘View Increment’ option specifies the number increments between each view when placed on the sheet. The ‘Spacing’ option lets you to alter the spacing between each view. The option to exclude titles from estimating view Sizes for Sheets’ option will stop titles from being included in the calculation of the number of views on the sheet.
