I was looking to try to automate some life-safety-related tasks in Revit® today, specifically related to occupant load calculations, and set out to create a Dynamo graph. I wanted to be able to round up the Area parameter value derived from an Area object, so that a whole number would be used (matching the calculated value in a Schedule) and I also wanted to round up any “fraction of a person” that results from dividing the Area value by the area per occupant value (as specified in the governing building code).
