SivaTools models plaster inside Revit and calculates the quantity from the geometry it creates. It turns room boundaries, walls, columns, beams, ceilings, doors and windows into coordinated plaster elements that can be inspected in plans, sections, schedules and quantity reports.

MODEL REAL PLASTER GEOMETRY

• Generate interior wall and column plaster from placed Revit Rooms.
• Generate exterior wall plaster and plaster on exposed facade column faces.
• Create ceiling plaster, beam-side plaster and beam-soffit plaster where supported.
• Optionally model door and window reveals as jamb, head and sill elements.
• Re-run generation safely: SivaTools replaces its previous elements instead of silently duplicating them.

EXCLUDE SURFACES THAT SHOULD NOT BE PLASTERED

• Door and window openings are deducted from the generated surfaces.
• Glazed curtain walls and structural steel columns are excluded automatically.
• Unsupported or ambiguous conditions are reported with a reason instead of being silently included.

SELECT THE MEASUREMENT RULE FOR YOUR MARKET

Countries do not deduct openings the same way, and the difference is not small. Because SivaTools records every opening individually, it reports the physical quantity and the billable quantity from the same run, together with the difference between them.

• Turkey (default): every opening is deducted.
• Structured according to RICS NRM2: openings up to 1.00 m2 are not deducted; an opening at the edge of a surface is deducted.
• Structured according to DIN 18350 (VOB/C): openings up to 2.50 m2 are not deducted.
• Custom: enter your own threshold, partial-deduction band and edge rule.

The report and the CSV print the rule name, the referenced clause, the threshold, the count and area of openings that were not deducted, and the physical-to-billable difference. On a 22-room reference model, the same geometry produced a billable area 10.9 percent larger under DIN 18350 than under the Turkish rule.

CREATE AN AUDITABLE QUANTITY TAKEOFF

• Review length, height, gross area, net area, opening-reveal area, plaster area and volume for every generated element.
• Group quantities by room or by item/type.
• Use the same calculation source for the on-screen report, CSV export and native Revit schedule.
• Create a native Revit schedule and place it on a selected sheet.
• Add interior and exterior dimensions that remain associated with the Revit model.

CONTROL THE RESULT

• Configure plaster thicknesses, type names, item codes, reveal rules, measurement rule and output language.
• Use the interface and reports in English, Turkish or Spanish.
• Keep project data local. Revit models, file paths, room data and quantities are not uploaded; the internet connection is used only for license validation.
