Knowing thickness of the skin you can get area of different skins. It also depends - what is material. If it's brick or concrete block - it is possible to calculate amount of bricks / blocks from the volume. If it's concrete - then just volume is needed.<BR /> ArchiCAD also can calculate Surface Area - that is very precise. From these numbers you can get areas for painting and finish skin - like plasterboard, OSB or plywood.
