Area Envelope¶

The Area Envelope tool creates Revit Area Boundary Lines from selected perimeter walls at either the exterior cladding face or exterior framing boundary.

After creating the boundary, Flow can also place an Area and leaderless Area Tag automatically or at a point you select.

Open Area Envelope¶

On the Revit ribbon:

Flow → Model → Areas

You can also run Cladding Area or Framing Area directly from Flow Hub.
