Procedure

To create a suite-level inventory, follow a similar method as when creating a room-level inventory, but with these few differences:

1. Create an Area Scheme .
   • Use the Area Schemes tab of the Home / Room /Area and Volume Computations dialog to create a new scheme for Suites.
   • See Preparing Suite Area Plans and a Suite Inventory - Step 1 for more detailed instructions.

     

2. Create an Area Plan .
   • Use the Revit Home / Areas / Area Plan command to create an area plan.
   • Select "Suite Areas" as the plan type, and answer No to create a boundary for your interior gross area. See Preparing Suite Area Plans and a Suite Inventory - Step 1 for more detailed instructions.
3. Draw Suites .
   • Use the Revit Home / Areas / Area Boundary Line features to draw the boundaries of your suites to the demising walls.
   • See Preparing Suite Area Plans and a Suite Inventory - Steps 2 and 3 for more detailed instructions.
4. Edit Data .
   • Use the Edit Data command to add a Suite Code for each suite.
   • The Building and Floor code will default to the value you established using the Set Level Parameters command. See Working with Asset Data Commands .
5. Publish Enterprise Graphics .
   • Use the Archibus / Enterprise Graphics / Publish 2D or Publish 3D commands.
   • The graphics on the Web will show the area assets as intelligent suite assets. See Publish Enterprise Graphics directly from Revit .
6. Detail and Review .
   • Use the Real Estate Portfolio Management / Lease Administration / Suite Analysis / Draw Suites view to enter in more Suite information in the Smart Client grid.
   • Use the Highlight Vacant Suites or Highlight Suites by Lease view to visualize your suites.
   • You can continue to work with your Suite inventory in the Smart Client program:
