Space Programming: Convert Families to Rooms

At some point after you've conceptually laid out Space Programming Families, you'll want to further develop the Revit model with actual rooms.

In order to give you assistance in making that step, Clarity provides the "Convert to Rooms" tool, which will let you choose to convert some or all of the elements into Rooms:

Step 1: Establish which elements need to be converted.

Step 2: Choose the conversion options:

Just Create-in-Place- if you have already modeled walls, and you just need rooms dropped in place of the families.
Create Room Separation Lines - if you want to have the results be rooms organized by boundary lines
Create Walls - attempt to create walls for all of the boundaries.

In this case:

Pick the wall type to use for all walls
Pick whether the solids are offset already by the wall width, or if the solids touch each other.

In the case of offset solids, the boundary curves of the solid will be offset by 1/2 the chosen wall width.
In the case of the solids touching, the walls will be created with the centerline on the boundary (resulting in a small loss-of-area).
In either case, the utility will attempt to merge collinear boundaries into a single wall.

Delete Original Elements: Delete the original solids so that we only have rooms remaining

All parameters with the same name will be copied across to the new elements.
