Round Window Area

How do do I get archiCAD to tell me the area of a window, a round window? This 5ft x 5ft window does not have an area of 25sf, it should be about 19.6sf.   Seem like this information should be somewhere in the BIM model?

 

Thanks,

If your label (text) is simply multiplying the width by the height, then that is the correct value based on that, but the wrong calculation for a round window.

Does your window have a parameter that shows the area?

If so you can use that.

If not you can create a property with an expression and do the correct area calculation in that expression.

Then use the property to show the correct area.
