AC14 volumn Calc.

Can someone please verify for me that the volume calculation for slabs roofs or columns works?
I can't get the schedule to cough up a volume.

Looks like a bug.

Why don't you post some screen shots of your schedule and its settings so we can see what you did?

It works. Probably Project Preferences. Fix units and update.

You were right. I checked the preferences and my slabs were too small for the accuracy setting. So I bumped up the accruacy and added some more slabs but now I cant get a proper total.

this file was an existing 13 import so I tried a new file with the standard AC14 template.

Same thing, incorrect total Cubic feet total.

The schedule is really buggy too. I can't change the font size.

Help!

You may need to drag the schedule onto the Layout sheet.
From Layout, select the schedule, left click, and select update.
If that does nothing, change units and try again. Then switch back to the units you want. Schedules can be fussy.

Thanks for responding Steven.

I tried lots of futzing around like you suggested. But no total for the Cubic arena.

Got to be a bug.

Can you get a total?
