I've put my room schedule into Revit, and placed most but not all of the rooms that the client requested. So what I want to do is produce a schedule which lists out what the client has asked for compared to what we have provided.
So I have a parameter called the Brief Area, and I have a calculated parameter that substracts the actual Area from the Brief area to give me the difference. Now I've never noticed a discrepancy before and I've been working in Revit since 2011, but using Revit 2016, when Revit totals up the difference in areas any Non-Placed rooms in the model are not showing up as a negative number.
For example
IT Manager Office - Brief Area = 16m2, actual area is 0m2 as the room is Non-Placed, so the difference should be -16m2, but Revit is calculating this as 0m2.
If previous versions were doing this I would have thought I would have noticed by now, but does anyone know if it's a glitch in 2016 and whether there's a way around it?
The only thing I have come up with is to include another parameter that I update manually so I can filter out the not placed rooms, but this means the total Brief Area then is short because it's missing the rooms. Which would then lead to needing further schedules, or I just export it to excel which is extra work.
