Hello All

I'm new here, and I will be grateful to anybody who will help me with this problem:

Husni,

Which ArchiCAD?

You should assign wall materials and components to the walls, not zones; then the zones will read the settings from the walls.

I might be off the mark here, so please explain what is it exactly that you want to do.

Please include your ArchiCAD version and OS in your signature - jsut edit your profile.

HTH,

ok, first thank you for your answer,

here is what I'm trying to do:

when you assign properties to walls, you will have to split some of them , because they have defferent finish from the inside (while the same from outside), maybe because the function is defferent, i.e a bathroom beside a bed room.

to avoid splitting walls I am trying to assign components to zones (surface of surround wall). That makes interior finish quantity calculations much simpler and spairs me the problems that result from splitting the walls

now the zones have a parameter called (surface_of_surround_walls) it but it just returns 1 when it is entered in the custom (proportional to) box in components.

thank you
