Specific Operations on Volume Floors in Revit
During the conceptual design phase, volume floors are used to divide the volume for detailed analysis. A volume floor provides geometric data regarding the dimensions of the space above the section, extending up to the next section or the top of the volume.
Mass floors can be created at each level specified within the project. These mass floors appear in the drawings as sections cutting through the mass at a defined elevation.
For each volume floor, the software calculates the following parameters:
Area: The surface area of each volume floor, measured in square units. This metric helps provide a rough estimate of costs or assess the design’s utilization ratio.
External Surface Area: The measurement of the external surface area of a floor, spanning from the top to the bottom of the volume. This value assists in approximating the cost of the building’s exterior based on square unit measurements.
Perimeter: The total circumference of each volume floor. This information can be used to estimate costs based on linear measurements.
Volume: The cubic volume of each floor, measured in cubic units. This data is useful for estimating HVAC loads.
