im using archicad 7.0. is there any way to get the total volume of certain walls and/or slabs? it would make estimating much more simplified. thanks
- also...can anyone give me tips in estimating using archicad. i'd really appreciate it.
select the specific walls before entering the Calculation's menu and then select one of the pre-set lists of your choice (both "Default" and "Basic" gives you surfaces and volumes).
These can then be saved as text for future usage
...or use "Window/Floating Palettes/Element information" palette to get your volumes extracted from the selected elements (can also be saved as text).

Isn't there some kind of default pre-set list in the US version? A list that just gives the user basic info?
This feature is not present in 7.0. Among the reasons to upgrade to 9.0 (or to have upgraded before to 8.1) is this feature and the Interactive Scheduler, which can also provide you with wall volumes in a friendlier interface.
Oops, sorry about that. I had both 7, 8.1 and 9 open at the same time and must have checked the 8's by mistake.
But your right an upgrade to 9 won't disappoint the user ...
It was so weird opening 7.0 to look at this... feels like so long ago...
I know the feeling. Of and on we get support questions involving DWG settings for 7.0. Talk about being lost there ...
PPS Suzanne: what a great photo of you jumping - beautiful horse and form! My wife evented when she was young; does dressage these days.
Having horses is a good way of letting the body do some hard work and let the brain rest after a whole day in front of the computers. I just love it
Still looking?
