How Do I Edit Room Sizes in Revit?

You can edit room sizes in Revit by directly manipulating the room boundaries or by adjusting the geometry of the walls that define the room.

Editing Room Boundaries

Select the room: Click on the room you want to edit in the plan view.
Edit the boundary: You can now directly edit the boundary lines of the room.
- Drag the handles: Use the handles that appear on the boundary lines to move them and reshape the room.
- Add or remove points: Click on the boundary line to add or remove points, allowing you to create more complex shapes.
Confirm changes: Once you're satisfied with the changes, press Enter to confirm.

Select the wall: Click on the wall that defines the room you want to adjust.
Modify the wall: Use the various editing tools available in Revit to modify the wall.
- Move: Drag the wall to a new location.
- Extend or shorten: Extend or shorten the wall to change the room's dimensions.
- Add or remove segments: Add or remove wall segments to reshape the room.
Update the room: Once you've adjusted the wall, Revit will automatically update the room size and area.

Use the "Room Tag" tool: This tool helps you quickly identify and select rooms.
Enable "Room Bounding" in the "Room & Area" settings: This ensures that rooms are automatically updated when you modify walls or other elements.
Check the "Room Properties" dialog box: This dialog box provides detailed information about each room, including its area, perimeter, and other properties.
