Zone Volume Calculation

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have a zone that is being cut with a SEO.
can i measure the new volume and schedule it?

The zone stamp provides a volume measurement, as you can see in the attached image, which does change if do a SEO. So i am guessing its not just calculating area multiplied by height.
is this a correct measurement? and if yes how can i schedule it? i couldn't even find it in the library part parameters.

the next idea is to use the general Net Volume (Gross and Conditional show nothing). again i am not sure if its a correct measurement but the results are the same as the ones displayed inside the zone stamp.

Yes, ArchiCAD calculates actual volume of zone. It was introduced even before SEO - was function (and still exists) to cut zone to roof slope. So, if zone volume was calculated when it cut under the roof - why should be different if you use SEO?
I think, you can schedule zone volumes if you choose Volume in general parameters group.
