Revit OpEd: Room Separation Lines - Agida for MEP?

Revit OpEd

JUNE 13, 2012

If room separation lines are "off the table" then the architect would end up using something else like actual walls and hiding them. When we unload a workset the walls are still there and that means so are Room Separation lines. A zone would wrap up the spaces that are served by a single system as you described. ► 2011.
