Why Room Inventory exists
Someone asks what is actually in room 214. Revit knows - the doors, the furniture, the diffusers, the sockets are all sitting inside those walls - but it has no idea they belong to that room, because containment is geometry, not a relationship. So you answer the question by isolating the room in a 3D view and counting by eye.
How Room Inventory works
Pick the rooms you care about from a level-grouped list, and the categories you want counted - forty-seven BIM categories arranged in eight groups, including openings, furnishings, MEP, structure, envelope and site.
Choose whether elements in linked models are included, and for doors, whether a door swinging into the room counts as belonging to it.
Scan, and every room comes back with its contents listed by family, type and mark.
Select the results in the model, copy the report to the clipboard, or export to Excel or CSV.
Optionally write the inventory straight back into a room parameter - as a detailed list with quantities or as a summary count.
Before
Room contents are counted by isolating each room and looking, which does not scale past a handful of rooms.
After
You get contents per room across the whole building, and can push the result into a parameter so it schedules like any other room data.
When to reach for it
- Room data sheets that have to list equipment per space.
- FM handover, where a client wants an asset list organised by room.
- Checking that every room actually received the fixtures the brief specified.
What it does not do
- Containment is spatial. An element sitting on a room boundary belongs to whichever side the geometry says, which is why door assignment is an explicit choice rather than a guess.
- Rooms must be placed and enclosed to contain anything.
- Scanning linked models is optional because it is slower - on a large federated model, expect it to take longer.
- Very long per-category lists are collapsed in the display; the exports contain everything.
Questions
- How do I list everything inside a room in Revit?
- Revit has no built-in room-contents relationship - a chair in a room is not linked to it, it just happens to sit inside its boundary. This resolves containment geometrically across the categories you choose and gives you the list.
- Which room does a door belong to?
- That is your call, and the tool asks. A door can be assigned to the room it swings into or the room it swings from, and different offices count it differently.
- Can the inventory be written into the model?
- Yes, into a room parameter you already have - a text parameter bound to Rooms - either as a detailed list with quantities or as a summary count, so it appears in schedules and tags. It does not create the parameter for you: if the name does not resolve to a text parameter, the push is reported as failed. A read-only document refuses the push outright.
