Section/ Elevation Zones or Fills with area calculations

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

What is the most efficient way to calculate several wall areas, i.e.. I want to be able to calculate the total area of stone cladding I will need.
The Zone Tool is obviously the best method when working in plan, because you can also then schedule all the areas together for a cumulative value.
So what is the equivalent method when calculating by section/ elevation?

Cheers

Hi,
I use the fill tool and activate the "Show Area Text" which gives the figure on each area.

Thanks,

That's a good start, but I then want to use the Interactive Schedule.
So I set one up with criteria -
Element - is - Fill AND
Layer - is - Gn Wall Cladding Calcs

But this only picks up fills in plan or on a home story, not in section/ elevation.
How can this be resolved?

Cheers
