Element Information

looking for assistance to decipher what "element information" interface is spitting out? this topic may have come up in past but can't seem to find anything that helps. is there a diagram or picture since AC is 3d driven that could shed some light on what "holes", "reduced", "not reduced", "top" etc. is referencing. i find myself measuring everything to match what it lists out and very inefficient not to mention confusing.

It is just the surface areas of the roof with or without holes deducted.

 

Maybe this will help explain what the various measurements are.

thank you @Barry Kelly never came across that while searching in help, greatly appreciated. this all goes back to helping out the estimating department with quantity take-off, and a prior topic of discussion.
