Corridor Validation

Overview

BIX Corridor Validation validates corridor widths against a single minimum width you specify, in your project's current unit or any other Revit length unit. The application searches every level in the model for rooms whose name contains “Corridor,” compares each against your entered minimum, and shows the result two ways — a colour-coded Excel report saved to your Desktop, and live green/red colouring directly in your Revit view via a Room Colour Scheme.
