Revit Architecture 2012 Roombook Extension

Following on from my post last December about the Roombook Extension, many people have been asking me if the 2012 version is available. I can now confirm the 2012 version was made available a few days ago on the Autodesk Subscription Centre and contains useful updates such as:

• Each calculated element is listed with all its single faces.
• Enhancements to prepare Roombook data for further editing in Autodesk Quantity Takeoff 2012.
• Export to DWF/DWFx via native Revit command.
• Roombook data in Revit schedule views.
• Consider material when "by element" is used.
