Room data sheets are structured overviews that provide the necessary information for specific room types. They are typically created during the briefing (or architectural programming in the US) phase of a design and aid in clarifying the requirements of the client for each space type. They can be used to develop specification that helps contractors and designers comprehend what is expected from each space and how they can ensure that a proposed solution meets the client’s needs.
Typically room data sheets are created by architects and other members of the design team such as engineers and interior designers. They are in the process of being developed and may remain as an “living document” until the client approves the final design of the architectural. Room data sheets can then be transferred to the Revit model via a process known as backfilling. Using this method of verification will make sure that the data for the room accurately matches the requirements in the final documentation. It can also identify any discrepancies between the two.
The Room Data Sheets component in BriefBuilder allows you to quickly create http://www.searchstreams.info/data-stream-management-system/ room data sheets, and then use them to be synced with the Revit model. It comes with a standard templates set and pre-programmed select lists of the electrical and structural disciplines as well as plumbing and HVAC. It also allows the use of thumbnail size illustrations and graphics for each discipline.
The component is easy to use and does not require any special configuration. It is able to load configurations previously saved, which reduces the time it takes to set up. It also allows properties such as scale, browser organization and the naming to be set for each view created.
