How to get surface areas from morph

Anonymous

I am using Archicad to takeoff areas for an energy modeling software (Hot2000). Basically, I model a house from an imported pdf. I can use Bluebeam for this but when it comes to things like a window schedule, using Archicad is quite quick. I have painted surfaces of walls, slabs and morphs according to the output I need. The picture shows how I have allocated the surfaces to a morph representing a bonus room over a garage - red is wall surface, yellow is sloping ceiling, cyan is flat ceiling. The surface areas from the slabs and walls are correct but the ones for a morph are quite wrong. Is it possible to get the face areas from a morph in a schedule in the manner I have shown?

This is done from a Surface Schedule, not an Elements or Components Schedule.

Stefan,
Yes, I have used a surface schedule. If I have a morph with vertical and horizontal faces (such as a box), the surface areas in the schedule will be correct. As soon as I have a sloped face, all the areas are all wrong.
