doing more than gross and rentable area plans

[AP23]

I need to make several area plans per floor and noticed that you're not able to make independent duplicates of area plans. For some reason Revit only alows you to make a rentable and a gross area plan. I must be doing something wrong.

Uncheck "Do not duplicate existing views" when you create the new area plan.

All area plans will either be gross or rentable. This is just determining how the exterior walls are calculated and a few other minor things.

For a net floor area - use a room schedule.

Go to Settings... Room and Area Settings... Areas Schemes... New to create areas other than gross and rentable. And I've heard that the area rules that are used to auto generate area boundaries are BOCA rules.

That's what i'm talking about. Thanks

There is no command under "Settings"... called "Room and Area Settings"... In order to get to "Area Schemes"... It is located under "Settings".... "Area and Volume Computations".... second tab next to "Computations"... is "Area Schemes"...

Second part: It is not possible to create anything other than gross and rentable, those are the only to options that Revit 09 offers to select from.

Not unless you hit that "new" button on the right under area schemes...

Yes you can create a new area scheme, However you can only create one of two types of area schemes, either a rentable or gross scheme

After creating a new area type (stating above) and area plan, when it asks to automatically place the boundary's, select "no". At that point go under the Room and area design bar and select area boundary. Before you pick some walls, deselect the "Apply Area Rules".

When you complete your perimeter, the area lines will not shift on you. We recently ran into this problem too and this method worked.

The window you show in the image attached to your post gives you the option to choose what 'Area Type' you want to create - Rentable or Gross Building.

I have noticed that this window (and choice) does not appear on all of our files...? Any ideas why this would be. If the window does not pop up than the default always goes to Rentable.
