Wrong calculation for doors & windows by AC16 build 3270 INT

Anonymous

Hello

It's a 1st time in my practice when ArchiCAD's automatic calculation gives wrong result for doors and windows.

Bellow is the description of a process:

- Several types (single as well) of windows and doors are selected on the floor plan.
- Basic list for specification is generated (tested for all templates).
Result is bigger than should be.

For example the calculation gives a result 12.32m2 for surface of 'Door with Sidelight 16' with size 2x2.4m instead of 4.8m2.

Is there any solution or trick to go around till this serious bug will be corrected (I hope very soon, because we started several project on AC16)?

PS
Furthermore I found that the title of width's coloumn in the generated list is named as 'Thickness/Size'

I checked the same same calculation with interactive schedule and found that the wrong result is given by 'GLOBAL Surface' parameter but not by 'W/D opening surface on the reveal side'.
