Fill area in schedule

maurotrotta — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 02:00:34 GMT

Hi, I am trying to show in a schedule list the area of specific fills, but the option to add this field in the schedule is not available.

I have read in the forum and people said you could schedule the area of a fill, but I can´t find out how. What am I doing wrong?

just type area (it's located in General not Fill)

For Impervious Cover Calcs, I like to use fills on specific Layers to calc out the overall areas, and write them to a schedule

For Decks we are allowed a 50% reduction but Archicad does not allow Fills to have Properties assigned and thus modify the "true area".

Is Everyone using the Zone tool for this type of analysis? I dont want to rely on the model because the calcs can get complex in different ways than the model.

I suppose I could use slabs instead of fills, but that creates other problems (fills are easier, dont create cutting / intersection geometry and I can hide edges, etc)

Does anyone have suggestions?
