I want to calculate walls area from a model that I did as follows;
ā¢ Exterior walls area without doors/windows
ā¢ Interior walls area without doors/windows
How to do that?
And if the wall trimmed to roof, the area will be calculated to the trim line or to the actual height of the wall before trimming?
One more question; I have modeled the exterior walls with complex profile, because I have different cladding material on the same wall (masonry/EIFS/wood siding), how to get the area of each component ?
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

Layers are how I select almost everything in my schedules.
I also cheat sometimes. In a section or elevation you can use a fill to define an area instead of canclulating the surface of the wall. The area of a fill can be added into a schedule too.
Yes. The surface area is adjusted. It does not include the area that has been trimmed.

Put your different wall types on different layers.

Layers; this is what I have done after I spent several hours on testing and investigating schedules and lists! but what I could not figure it out is the complex profile! is there any other way to list each component or I have to use a fill on elevations... and STOP trying?

one way is:
1. go to the navigator-project map.
2. on the tree, go to the list and choose components.
3. then checkout the preset (component/prop. obj (simple)
4. then you can see the rest of the components you have used.
another way is to create your own list, and this is how it goes:
1. go to the navigator-project map.
2. on the tree, go to the list and right click the components.
3. then set up list schemes
4. then go to the pull down menu & select List Scheme File & create new
5. and you can see there will a new set of tree were you can create your own lists and the rest is self explanatory.
maybe this could be a big help...
