Schedules_Wall Surface Calculation (error?)

Eduardo Bell
Contributor
Hello, I'm trying to use the zone tool to calculate the total wall surface of a small room. As you can see, room xx is 243" perimeter x 11 feet high= 222.75sf. However the schedule generates a 149.62 sf value. Any ideas why or how to get an accurate number?

Is your zone also 11' high?

Yeah ('8)'), even when I change the zone height the numbers are confusing...
On line Room xx: Wall is still 11' h , changed zone to 5' h x 20.25' perimeter = 101.25 sf , not 68,02 sf as calculated by the 'wall surface' schedule. It has to be a setting elsewhere, but I've gone over all that seem pertinent to no avail...I wish in the future we had a clean interface with less clicks and more centralized commands....

In your schedule I am guessing that the perimeter you show is the "net perimeter".
Try adding in the "wall perimeter" to see if the figures match.
I am thinking maybe your zone is not touching all of the walls.
