Revit Architecture 2016 – Room Finishing Add-In

By John Flanagan 

Introduction

The Room Finishing application allows you to automatically create a skirting board or a finish floor all the way around any architectural room. Just create a type of wall to be used as a baseboard or a type of floor to be used as finish, select a set of rooms or a single room and the application will create the skirting board and the finish with the proper height. Download the Add-In from the Exchange Apps Store. Go to the information centre on the Ribbon and click the X symbol to open the Exchange Apps Store. See fig 1.
