Hi, Is there any way to use the Zone tool to calculate the VOLUME of a building, including roofspace?
Or is there another tool that can do this in AC9

Thanks for that Karl, at the moment we only need it to calculate single buildings or single rooms, but it is good to know that they can be used in different ways to read multiple room in a single buildings and have the info all in one place, will deffinately be looking into that

Thanks Paul!

Karl, how do you set the Interactive Scheduler to report on zones? Couldn't see them in the settings for the IS, either.

Absolutely amazing tool.

In AC 11, I found it in a little different place (I'm on a Mac).
