5D Data - MEP

Hi all,

I have recently been looking into pulling 5D costing data from our Archicad models into schedules, I am starting from scratch & am coming across a few issues. I feel I will have less issues with the architectural side of this data however I can't seem to get MEP data to calculate efficiently or at least how I feel it should be calculated.

Then run of ductwork in the picture below has been measured using the measure tool at 13,000mm or 13 meters in length. I measure the main ductwork as one length & the branch as another to give my total of 13m. When I measure these in a schedule using the attached settings I get the value 10,497mm. From what I can see Archicad isn't picking up the length of the ductwork bends. Does anyone know how to calculate this within Archicad?

I predict I will have the same problem calculating cable tray bends & fittings too. Can anyone suggest a way to improve this?

Thanks

Hi @LFBIMMAN

Perhaps it's not what you are asking for, but you can find the MEP Listing Parameters HERE for your reference.
