DanielGimi4 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Hello dear Vectorworks community, I been trying to solve a problem for a while. I´m doing a Finish Schedule for a project were need to give the approx prices for all the finishes materials. For this operation I am using the space tool, with the information from the space finishes option, and the Area Record, I am able to show the material type and the quantity (m2) for every Space floor and ceiling. I need to do the same with my walls finish material. Right now I am able to show the material but not the surface area of each wall. There is a function which name is Wall Area but it gives me the total area of every component of the wall, which is not what i need. I am using the space tool so I assume the function I need for this case would be a function related with the Space and not with Wall tool. I been around this problem for a while already and any youtube tutorial shows anything close to do this. I appreciate if you could help me with this issue. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 There are a bunch of different Surface Area options specified in the Worksheet Function Reference in the Specialized for Walls section. https://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php?title=Worksheet_Functions#Specialized_for_Wall Take a look at those and see if you can find the ones that do what you need.

I don't think it's possible to return the surface area of Walls based on the Space they enclose... Quote Link to comment
