Archibus Smart Client Extension for Revit
Preparing Revit Model Areas for Chargeback to External Entities
The quality standards for hand-off data often specify that areas will be drawn to a particular standard. If you are using the Revit model information to do external chargeback, you need a higher standard of accuracy. External chargebacks to insurance carriers, government grants, and tenants are subject to audit. Any discrepancies -- such as the failure to exclude a structural column or structural wall from a particular room's area -- is subject to penalties. As such, more accurate area drafting techniques are appropriate for this usage. See Drawing Room Areas Accurately.
Archibus supports multiple types of area assets. This feature helps you achieve the needed level of accuracy without excessive effort. For instance, there is no need to draw and number rooms if all you need are suite areas for leases.
