Room data sheets (RDS) are utilized to communicate the needs of the client for a specific space type to the design team and typically, they are created during the briefing or architectural programming phases. The information they contain can include general requirements and notes, or more specific specifications for fixtures and finishes (F&F) and mechanical and electrical equipment.
Information is usually displayed on a single sheet per room thus the name. However, based on how much work is required, it may be spread over more than one sheet. They are usually given to contractors along with drawings and specifications.
A variety of programs are available to assist with the creation of RDSs. Some are designed to connect to Revit models so that the model’s content and the room data sheet match. This synchronisation makes the document easier to manage and avoids duplicate entries in both.
Layer is a highly efficient management tool that manages room data. It provides an easy-to use interface for recording room data and it can create multiple sheets for each type of space. It can even backfill existing room types in Revit projects and also create custom reports. Layer allows the user also to define naming conventions on sheets and to modify properties such as size, browser organization, and the naming.
The Layouts panel allows you to determine the layout of views on a page including margin values and the location of the titleblock. In addition, the option to exclude view titles when the calculation of the total size of views on a sheet is enabled. This can stop titles from being overlapping on the sheet. It can also allow more elevation views to be generated on one sheet.
