Architectural Code Review

[mboyer]

I'm curious as to how people are handling Code Reviews in Revit. In our drawings, we usually include a brief code summary on the Architectural Data sheet which includes the applicable building codes, breakdown of occupancy types w/ number of occupants, door egress requirements, etc. Is it possible to tie this info to the model and calculate occupancies?

The answer is yes... search the forum "occupancy" and find some good solutions.

Another item that I have found use is to make a line-based family in which you can calculate the egress capacity of an egress component such as corridor width, stair width, etc. You can then tag this element with a tag that shows the calculated value and then has a parameter to enter in the actual value. You will find a similar tool used to measure maximum travel distance.
