"Rooms layouts" plugin allows you to create an automated set of facades along the contour of selected rooms, and then place these views immediately on the sheet. This plugin will be useful for architects, as well as specialists in interior solutions.
1. Launching the plugin
Since the plugin works specifically with room contours, you need to select these rooms before running the plugin. Then click on the plugin button.
In the opened window you need to make a number of settings:
1. Since the layout will be built on the room, and the room is on the level, you need to set the display height up and down from the level for the cuts.
2. If you have selected a room that has round walls and you want to get a layout including on them, then, as I'm sure you know, Revit can not build facades on curved lines, so here the plugin offers you to make a layout on round walls by creating segments. If this is your case, check the box and specify the pitch of the segments.
3. Select the type of viewport
Since the plugin will place the views on the sheet after creating them, you need to tell it what type of viewport you want to use.
4. Select a view template for the facade of the layout. Here you will be able to select a preset view template, so that your layouts will be at once with customized graphics.
5. Check the box if you want a clipping border enabled on each of your layouts.
6. Set the far plane offset i.e. the distance the facade will see the elements.
7. Set the offset of the facade from the wall. I.e. if you want the created facades to be not close to the wall, set this offset with a negative value. It will be useful for those who want, for example, on the sweep to see the furniture that stands against the walls.
8. Since the plugin uses facades - then you need to select this type of facade in this item. You can customize it in advance and set a correct and beautiful graphical notation.
9. After the formation of facades plugin will place them on the sheet in order, so if you choose the format of work - Place on a new sheet, then of course you will need to select the family of the main inscription to create a new sheet, as well as set the number and name of the new sheet.
10. If you choose the work format - Arrange on an existing sheet, then you will need to select that sheet.
11. There may be some small segments in your room that you do not want to layout - for this purpose, specify the segments of what length you would like to skip.
12. Click Done!
As a result, we get formed facades laid out on sheets as a layout of the rooms.
