Room data sheets are organized overviews of the requirements that are applicable to specific room types. They are usually created during the phase of briefing (or architectural programming in US) of designing and can help clarify the requirements of the client for every type of space. They can be used to create specifications that help contractors and design teams understand what is expected of each space and how to ensure that any proposed solution meets the requirements of the client.
Typically, room data sheets are designed by architects and other members of the design team like engineers and interior designers. They are still in the process of being created and can remain a “living document” until the client has approved the final architectural design. The data in room sheets can be synchronized with the Revit model by a process known as backfilling. This method of verification helps to ensure that the data for the room accurately matches the requirements in final documents and be used to identify any gaps.
The Room Data Sheets component in BriefBuilder lets you easily create room Features of data stream models data sheets and then use them to connect to the Revit model. It provides a variety of standard templates and pre-programmed lists for the structural, electrical HVAC, plumbing and structural disciplines. It also allows for the insertion of thumbnail size illustrations and graphics for each discipline.
The program is easy to use and requires no specific setup. It is able to load configurations previously saved, which decreases the time spent setting up. It also allows properties such as scale, browser organization, and naming to be specified for each view created.
