Revit Architecture: Room Tag With Dimensions

In this video Tutorial of Revit. I will teach you how to create a Room Tag which automatically extracts the Dimension of Room.
Formula used
Length = (Perimeter + sqrt(Perimeter ^ 2 - 16 * Area)) / 4
Width = Area/Length.

Grate .. I saw many tutorials which achieve this using dynamo .You done this in Revit itself, brilliant👌 . Thank you

i tried this and it just tells me that my “length” is case sensitive and doesn’t work so idk what i’m doing wrong

[popotita]

Nice thanks! What can I do if my room is not squared/rectangled? I have an L shaped room.

[koosalynu]

How can I apply this for L shape rooms? or curved room... any suggestion will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

For length every other youtubers use a different formula . I wonder if both are correct

[Toosterlife]

I am still having the trouble as others. I followed your method. I would like it to show Length x Width every time, however this method (as well as others I've found) will show the bigger dimension first every time wither it's the width or the length of the room. Any suggestions?

[TyreeArt]

Unfortunately, the formula assumes that the X (Length) dimension is greater than the Y (Width). Obviously that is not always the case in a typical building. Since typical notation of X x Y dimensions always lists the X first, you'll need to use two different labels in your family and use additional parameters to hide one label or the other when X or Y is the greater number.
I ended up with two family types that I can switch between based on the greater dimension.
Formula does not work at all if room is square. 😕 So another label must be added where Length is simply Perimeter / 4 and then a third family type added for a square room.

It is very nice for a room with only four walls, but does not work for irregularly shaped room, such as an octagon.

[jonakason]

I guess this only works with rectangular or square rooms?

[sandeshabachavan]

First of all thank you very much for sharing the information 😊❤❤❤ I have tried as per your instructions it's working but what about L, C, U shape rooms !!!😢 The parameters don't work properly 😮😮😮 can you please give solution on that....😊 Thank you in advance 🙂

Hi usually when i do this, the dimension which is the largest appears first . Usually when we dimension it we do the horizontal dimension first followed by the vertical one. but if the horizontal is lesser then revit automatically makes the dimension with the higher value appears first. is there anyway to control that ?

[AditPatel]

after trying this the result i'm getting is longer side X shorter side. And if I change formula to(Perimeter + sqrt(Perimeter ^ 2 - 16 * Area)) / 4 result i'm getting is shorter side X longer side. but in the video i can clearly see that it's x by y. how do I achieve that. can someone please help me out. thank you.
