ROOM SEPARATION LINES
Room Separation lines provide a way to define a room boundary in the absence
of other geometric room defining options (ie, walls, columns..). Room Separation
Lines are 2D.

*Uncheck prior to printing – room will still be defined even if these lines are off.

Room Bounding Elements
The following elements are bounding elements for room area and volume computations:

Walls (curtain, standard, in-place, face-based)
Roofs (standard, in-place, face-based)
Floors (standard, in-place, face-based)
Ceilings (standard, in-place, face-based)
Columns (architectural, structural with material set to concrete)
Curtain systems

Building pads
To verify an object is room bounding, select the object and view it’s Room Bounding property. If it is
checked it is room bounding.
NOTE: Room Separation Lines should not overlap an object that is room bounding. This is redundant and may
cause calculation errors.

Room Bounding Revit Links
Linked Revit Files can also be used to define room boundaries. Once File has been linked, select it in the view, and
Edit Type.

ROOM SEPARATION LINES
Common problems:
Room is not properly enclosed.
Either extending the wall or placing a room separation line will enclose the room. Also if it looks enclosed, check the
Room bounding property of the bordering elements.
