Calculating wall paint color

Hello Team,

 

I have been attempting to calculate the area of the wall finishings, but it has proven to be a challenging task.

To expedite the process, I recommend generating interior elevations and determining if the wall fill that comes closest to the desired color will suffice. If so, you can add a label indicating the fill name, the square meters for the area, and the corresponding color code from the manufacturer. The contractor will then calculate the total area for each elevation and the sum of the color per code.

Breaking down walls to change the faced color can be both confusing and time-consuming.

I would like to express my wish that Archicad could provide the capability to generate a schedule that I can edit and use to visualize the fill and calculate the total area. I acknowledge that this may not be a straightforward solution and could potentially cause other conflicts.

I have attached a picture of the method I have employed to create the interior elevation, which may provide clarification or suggest alternative approaches.

 

Please review the attached document for further details.
