If you check the Wall Niche, you will see that it is placed with the Window tools, so for Archicad internally, it is a Window element type so its area is correctly included in the Windows Area value of the Zone.</P> <P>If you have AC23 or later I would recommend that you use the Opening tool to place a niche in the Wall, the value of which will not be included in the Windows Glazing Area.</P> Wed, 30 Mar 2022 01:35:37 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Project-data-BIM/Wall-niche-on-windows-glazing-area/m-p/333979#M154 Laszlo Nagy 2022-03-30T01:35:37Z
