you do not use Revit for energy or engineering analysis, there is a type of
Space schedule that can be useful for managing names and numbers.
The ability of Revit to generate spaces automatically is a great feature;
however, it will generate spaces where there is no room object in the linked
model. It can be tedious and time-consuming to search through a large floor
plan looking for spaces that should not be in the model. When these spaces
are found in a plan view, deleting them removes them only from the model
and not from the project. A simple Space schedule can be used to find all the
spaces that should not exist and gives you the ability to delete all of them
from the project with one click.
Figure 2.8
shows a sample Space schedule that reports the room name and
room number of each space. The blank rows indicate spaces that have been
placed where there is no room object. These rows can be highlighted in the
schedule and removed from the project by clicking the Delete button on the
ribbon. If you do energy analysis with the Revit model, those spaces will be
needed. However, for energy analysis it is recommended to set up another
project because in most cases the architectural model will need to be altered
in ways that are unacceptable for a typical documentation model. For the
documentation model, those “blank” spaces are simply polluting the model
and will create more work if you use the Tag All command.
