Filled regions have an area value associated with them, how do I put that in a schedule? I need to show different shaded areas on building elevations and then show the percentage of one from the other and filled regions are the only way I can think to do it. Any suggestions?

It appeasr as though Detail Items (the category that Filled Regions fall under) is not a schedulable category. There may be a work around but I have not found it yet. Let us know if you find anything. Good luck!

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in asia, but only slightly less well known is this! Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! |

For Area analysis do not use filled regions, those are more like autocad's hatches. Go to VIEW>NEW>AREA PLAN There you can sketch areas just like filled regions. They behave more like Autocad's polylines, although a little better. Areas created in area plans can be scheduled and calculated in formulas, just like you want to. You can even create your own parameters and ratios out of calculations and use them in other formulas. Other cool features is that you can show them very graphically with your color schemes (even in elevations in 2009) Also you can create various area plan schemes, like gross area/sellable area/interior area etc... those areas behave like rooms, but at another level that does not interfere with them.

I completely agree with using area plans as mentioned above, but we already have a site plan that has many filled regions indicating different materials (grass, concrete, asphalt, etc.). Was anyone ever able to determine a method to schedule the areas of filled regions and provide a total value?

Too bad you didn't split your surface and use materials to indicate your different areas. You could have then scheduled those areas. We split the topography to show grass/pavement/sidewalk and plat areas.

Agreed! But, now that it's done, is there a way I can use it as-is? I.E. schedule filled region areas.

That was already answered at the beginning of this thread - no. But you can edit each region, copy the sketch to clipboard, then use that sketch to split your topo face and then schedule those. You don't have to do that....up to you - just would be my quick solution. You could also create a dummy schedule - select your regions to list the area property and fill in your schedule manually.

Seems as though if an element has a defined/measured property, it should be able to be scheduled. Checking the property of a filled region clearly gives you an area calculation, so...

Shrut... Your site is not clear about some important details. I understand you can extract the data from Revit but how do you get it in a Revit schedule where Revit will not schedule the item? RE - The original question.

Ideate BIMLink even gives you access to data that Revit hides like Phasing, Design Options information, Detail Components etc. Since Filled Regions is categorized as a detail component you would need to use that as the schedule category, Here is the sequence of steps:
- Launch Ideate BIMLink
- Create New Link
- Choose "Detail Components" as the category
- Select the fields for the schedule in this case: "Area" and possibly "Filled Region: Name"
- Hit OK and Export the data to Excel
Our website has a link to watch "Technical Overview" demo video, you can also watch additional videos on our youtube site:

That exports the data to excel but I asked how that comes back into Revit since Detail components can not be scheduled in Revit.
