I need the Lineal Feet of Fascia

I'm building schedules for some materials as a 'back check' on subcontractor invoicing. I need to be able to provide lineal feet of fascia. But I can't figure out how to get ArchiCAD to give me the eve and gable lengths. I see the Roof Schedule options for Hips lengths, Eave lengths, gables lengths etc, but they are all coming in as 0.00". I am using the single slab method for creating my roof, with both 6/12 and 8/12 roof pitches in the simple system. And in the future, I'll be adding dormers as well.

Alternately, I'm attempting to try out the single roof system method and I can get numbers, but then I'm struggling to produce the roof look I want (roof wraps/batwings, dormers, etc).

Any ideas on getting lineal feet of fasica using the single roof plane method? I know I can manually measure the distances in Elevations, but I'd prefer to connect this to the roof system somehow in case of changes.

For single roof planes you must define the type of edge with the pet palette.
See attached image.

For multi-plane roofs this edge assignment is automatic but you can override it in the same way.

Thank you for that quick reply. I've never used that setting so I'll play around with it now and see if I can get the numbers I'm looking for. Thank you.
