Room Elevation Unfolder

Room Elevation Unfolder

Creates a coordinated interior-elevation sheet for every selected room, with the room plan in the middle and each wall's elevation folded flat around it, aligned and scaled to fit.

Instead of placing interior elevations one by one and lining them up by hand, each straight wall is treated as if it were hinged at the floor and folded outward flat onto the sheet — so every elevation sits directly against its own wall in the plan, reading outward the way the room actually wraps.

How to use

1. Open Room Elevation Unfolder from Revit with your project open — every enclosed room in the project is listed. Rooms you had selected in Revit are already ticked.
2. Tick the rooms you want sheets for. Search by room number or name, or use Select all.
3. Click a room to preview its fold. The preview shows each elevation lying outward from its own wall, exactly as it will be oriented on the sheet.
4. Choose a title block, a starting scale, and a sheet number prefix. If you like, fine-tune the plan and elevation crop margins, the fold gap, and how deep each elevation looks into the room — in whichever units you prefer.
5. Click Create sheets. One sheet is created per room, and the first new sheet opens for you.
6. Review the result banner: it lists every sheet created with its scale and alignment quality, plus any layout warnings worth a look.

What you get

• One sheet per room, numbered from your prefix and the room number (IE-101, IE-102, ...), holding a cropped plan of the room and one elevation for every straight boundary wall.
• The plan stays upright. Left and right walls are quarter-turned on the sheet, and a bottom wall is shown top-down-reversed so it still folds correctly — while every view title stays horizontal and readable.
• Live views, not static drawings: doors, windows, casework and anything else within the chosen view depth appear and keep up with the model.
• Plan and elevations are aligned wall by wall — checked at the start, middle and end of each wall to within a tenth of a millimetre on paper. A room that cannot hold that alignment is reported and skipped, without losing the sheets already created for other rooms.
• With Increase scale to fit on, the scale steps up until everything fits inside the title block, and elevations that would overlap are eased outward from their walls.

Good to know

• Curved walls cannot be flattened without distortion, so they are reported and left out; the wall still shows in the plan.
• A wall at an odd angle is placed at the nearest quarter-turn, and the difference is noted in the results.
• Columns or shafts enclosed inside a room stay visible in the plan but do not receive their own elevations.
• Elevation markers are not placed in the plan — sheets and views are coordinated by matching names instead.
• New views start from your project defaults, so apply your office view templates afterwards if you use them.
• Very long view titles or title blocks with large notes areas can still crowd the layout; the results call this out so you can adjust.
• Runs are limited to 50 rooms at a time to keep Revit responsive, and only rooms in the open project are listed — not rooms in linked models.
