Area Calculation List Question

Anonymous
Not applicable
I guess the answer is propably is NO but i will ask in case i missed smthg.

When i use the area list creator i get a result that i can cut and past in a drawing.
Can i change the font size? I always get a result usable only in 1:50 scales that are too large to fit in the drawing. and when i resize the drawing the result is too mixed up.
If i could only set the text size.
thx

This doesn't answer your question, but I would use the interactive scheduler for area calcs and not the list schemes as the interface is cleaner IMHO. You can change your text size there, etc. and you have the ability to update the information that is placed on the plan, rather than just paste it. (Unfortunately, the update is a manual process.)

The area list calculator show graphically all the calculations required to calculate the area of a zone.
Can this be done with interactive scheduler?? I guess not

Hmm. "construction simulation" is the last menu entry in the Calc menu in the US version (at least on my machine) ... so I'm wondering if what you're talking about isn't an add-on of some sort? I've never seen any output such as you show.

It's a greek addon Karl! It takes a zone splits it to triangles-rectangles-etc, names each partition and writes down the calculation for each one and a sum.
