Be sure to review both the Floor Plan and the Schedules to see how it all works together. Daryl Gregoire posted it years ago in a series of videos, and it was mentioned in this post as well.ĭownload this file to see both methods in action. Similarly, I can’t really take credit for the Model Family with Annotation Labels idea for the family either. I downloaded an RVT back in 2008 that demonstrated this method - from … somewhere. This uses a formula based on Perimeter and Area to establish calculated values for X and Y room dimensions in a Schedule. I can’t take credit for the Calculation method. Just place the family and then adjust the grips. A Model Family with built in nested annotation labels that needs to be manually stretched and updated to the assumed X / Y dimensions of the Room.A Room Schedule that calculates X and Y dimensions for rectangular rooms only.

There are two workarounds that I think can be useful:

So we can forgive vanilla Revit for not having a built in tool or method that could only really ‘guess’ at X and Y room dimensions for irregularly shaped rooms. The reality is, many Rooms are not rectangular.
