Room Number Display

Good morning folks.  Since we are getting into more commercial work it is more common for us to display room numbers on plans.  I noticed that the schedule has an option to show room numbers but there is no macro for us to be able to include room numbers to display in a text box or even in the room label that I can find.  Is this a possibility or are we stuck manually entering in room numbers?

The price for my "Room Macros" package is $75.00

It actually includes 35 macros covering almost anything that is related to rooms.

  • room_areas - accumulates room areas to a $Global Hash - displays "" - needs to be in each room label
  • room_ceiling_finish_layers
  • room_ceiling_height_ft
  • room_ceiling_height_ftin
  • room_ceiling_height_in
  • room_ceiling_structure_layers
  • room_conditioned_existing_list
  • room_conditioned_existing_total
  • room_conditioned_floor_names_areas
  • room_conditioned_floor_total
  • room_conditioned_new_list
  • room_conditioned_new_total
  • room_dimensions
  • room_dimensions_secondary
  • room_floor_finish_layers
  • room_floor_structure_layers
  • room_internal_area
  • room_internal_area_secondary
  • room_label
  • room_living_areas
  • room_moldings
  • room_name
  • room_num_baths
  • room_num_beds
  • room_num_name - master room label for all rooms.
  • room_number
  • room_open_below_areas
  • room_perimeter
  • room_reqd_window_area
  • room_standard_area
  • room_standard_area_secondary
  • room_total_building
  • room_unconditioned_spaces_all_Floors
  • room_unconditioned_total
  • room_volume
  • room_volume_secondary
  • room_wall_coverings
  • room_window_reqd

Most of the above can be used in a RTB placed in a room - as well in a Room Schedule.

I include a Library Object (RTB) with several of the above macros as an example.

When I need to do this, I use a customized Text Note. I set a new note type and use a schedule that includes only the note used for Room Numbering. You will need to manually place the notes and manually organize them, but at least you can't make mistakes regarding the scheduling. Using the Object Information Panel, you can add the Global macros that are available for rooms in the provided fields, or in custom fields. My preferred note shape for this is a 'capsule'.
