Room Data Sheets and Synchronizing With Revit
Room data sheets are arranged outline of the requirements that are applicable to specific room types. They are usually developed during the discussion phase (or architectural programming in the US) of the design process and aid in defining the client’s needs for each type of space. They can then be used to create specifications that help contractors and designers understand what is expected from each space and how to make sure that the proposed solution meets the client’s requirements.
Architects and other members of design teams, such as engineers and interior designers make room data sheets. They are a work in development and may be as a living document until the client has signed off on the final architectural plan. The data in room sheets can then be synced with the Revit model using a procedure known as backfilling. This method of verifying can help to ensure that the room information accurately reflects the specifications in the final documentation. It can be a good indicator of any differences between the two.
The Room Data Sheets component of BriefBuilder allows you to easily create room data sheets, and use them to synchronize with the Revit model. It provides a set of standard templates and pre-programmed picklists for electrical, structural HVAC, plumbing and structural disciplines. It also allows for the insertion of thumbnail size illustrations and graphics for each discipline.
The component is simple to use and requires no specific setup. It can load configurations previously been saved, which reduces the amount of time in setting up. It also allows properties like scale, browser organization and the name to be specified for each view that is created.
