Room data sheets are organized overviews that provide the necessary information for specific types of rooms. They are usually developed during the briefing (or architectural programming in the US) phase of a design and assist in defining the requirements of the client for each space type. They can be used to create specifications that will help design teams and contractors know what is expected of each space and how to make sure that any proposed solution is in line with the requirements of the client.

Architects and other members of the design teams, like engineers and interior http://www.searchstreams.info/data-stream-management-system/ designers create rooms data sheets. They are a work-in-progress progress and may remain in the form of a living document until a client has endorsed the final architectural design. The data from the room sheets of data can be synchronized to the Revit model using a procedure known as backfilling. This method of verification can help to ensure that the information in the room accurately reflect the requirements in the final documents, and can also identify discrepancies.

The Room Data Sheets component in BriefBuilder allows you to quickly create room data sheets, and then use them to integrate with the Revit model. It includes a set standard templates as well as pre-programmed picklists for the structural, electrical HVAC, plumbing and structural disciplines. It allows the insertions of graphic images and drawings in thumbnail size.

The component is easy to use and does not require any special configuration. It is able to load configurations that have already been saved, reducing the amount of time in setting up. It allows properties like scale, browser organization, and naming for each page to be set.
