Why Use Room Data Sheet Software Linked to Revit?

Most architects use Revit to streamline their design process, but still resort to spreadsheets to input their room data manually.

It can be complicated to organize extensive information, especially for large-scale projects. Using Room Data Sheet software like Layer allows you to collect accurate data directly within Revit.

Quickly Create and Collect Room Data Types

Room data takes a lot of time and energy for architects to organize. Let alone keeping up with the constant periodical changes during early design phase.

Layer keeps your data accessible with shared workflow and collaboration across your team on any devices in an extensive database.

“Layer maximized our efficiency. You wouldn’t believe how much time you spend looking for photos and notes until you don’t have to anymore. Data collected for a project is only valuable if it is accessible. With Layer, the information was always in front of us.”

Adam Sitzmann, Project Manager, BVH

Integrate Room Data Seamlessly within Revit

One of the biggest benefit of using a Room Data Sheet software is its direct integration with your Revit model. You can get up-to-date quantities and locations of different rooms from your project in real time. 

Depending on your firm’s workflow, you can start entering data in Layer first before building your Revit model or vice versa. Regardless of your team’s preference, Layer allows you to have an accurate Room Data Sheet with automatic updates that sync with your Revit model.

“Layer dramatically increased our efficiency by helping us capture existing conditions data and photos accurately in one app. With Layer, our teams build trust and transparency knowing that the data was collected in one consistent format that can also be easily accessed in Revit.”
