RDS (Room Data Sheets) are used for capturing the requirements and information of each space in a design. These are typically prepared by the client during the briefing (also known as architectural programming in the US) phase of the design process, however, they may also be revised during the design process to reflect the changing requirements or to present an accurate and complete view for those in charge of the project’s delivery.

The Room Data Sheets SmartTool is an accurate and efficient sheet view and schedule building utility that can be used to create rooms (or space) sheets of data in a Revit project. The tool can create 3D, plans elevations, and schedule views for rooms or spaces, all of which are named parametrically and numbering new sheets.

By default the tool will utilize the Room Numbering template as well as the Sheet Format created by the Revit project however, a new sheet name and style can be picked from the Tool Options tab. Or, you can click ‘Load Configuration’ …’ on the toolbar to load previously saved configurations that will replace the current settings. This will reduce the amount of needed for manual rework for different room types and sizes.

In the ‘Naming Tab, the user is able to select whether to include the room or space name in the ‘Sheet Name Text Box’ that is located on the left of the screen. The ‘View Title option defines what text appears in the title bar for each view. ‘View Increment’ specifies the number of increments between each view on the sheet. The option ‘Spacing’ can be set to control the space between each view on the sheet, and the ‘Exclude View Titles in estimating the size of Views on Sheets:’ will stop titles from being included in determining the number of views that will fit on a single page.
