Room data sheets are used to convey the client’s requirements for a specific space type to the design teams. They are typically designed during the meeting and architectural programming phases. The information they contain could include general requirements and notes or specifications for finishes, fixtures and fittings (F&F) and mechanical and electrical equipment.
Information is usually presented on a single sheet for each room thus the name. However, based on the what the work will be, it could be distributed over more than one sheet. These are usually given to contractors with the drawings and specs.
There are a variety of software programs that can assist you in creating RDSs. Some software is designed to connect Revit models, so that the content of the model and room data sheets are identical. This synchronisation makes the document easier to manage and avoids duplicate entries in both.
Layer is a highly efficient management tool for room data. It comes with an easy-to-use interface for capturing data from rooms and produces multiple sheets per type of space. It can also backfill existing Revit projects by adding room types as well as create custom reports. Layer permits users to specify naming conventions on sheets, and can modify properties such as scale, browser organisation and names.
The Layouts panel lets you determine the layout of views generated on a sheet including margin values and the position of the titleblock. The option to prevent view titles from estimating size of the sheet’s total view can also be enabled. This will stop titles from overlapping on the sheet and it could also allow for more elevation views to be created on one sheet.
