Area of walls minus openings

Anonymous
Not applicable
Is there a way of showing the area of walls less the openings?
I have tried all the options in the wall schedule & searched the forum.
This would be a great time saver for me when doing thermal calculations.

It seems to me that ArchiCAD adds the surface are of the two side edge surfaces to it unnecessarily (AC17 b6004 INT). I will forward this issue to Graphisoft.
I got word from Graphisoft that this was fixed in AC18.
