Revit 2012 Roombook Extension

Roombook is an interesting extension for Revit that has been available to subscription customers for a few years now. Essentially it provides users an enhanced toolset for accurately  quantifying the materials on visible surface area of walls, floor, ceilings and other elements of a model beyond what is possible with Revit alone.

 The official description of  Roombook from the Autodesk subscription center:

"The Roombook Extension helps calculate the surface area of walls, floors and ceiling elements, room circumferences and the total number of furnishing elements within a project. In addition to the automated detection of room areas and surfaces, this extension helps users configure these elements manually to local requirements, as well as achieve more accurate model take-offs. Quantified results can be exported to Microsoft® Excel® software and Autodesk® Quantity Takeoff (QTO) software."
