Space Area Worksheet Duplicate entries

[Keith W]

I've created a worksheet with gross space areas, by going to each floor and creating a "space by walls". At first, I set "show additional data" to show the net area.

When I looked at the worksheet, there were two entries for each line. I eventually deleted all my spaces, confirmed that the worksheet was empty, and recreated them without additional data.

One of them worked (only shows once in the worksheet), and the other three still show twice.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Are some of the layers showing in Viewports?

Edit your criteria to specifically include the layers that have the original spaces on them as part of the criteria.

That's great Pat, thanks so much. I would never have guessed that space objects that show in viewports are counted twice in worksheets. Always more to learn.

at first it seems counter productive.

but if you are using viewports for repetitive elements (such as a dwelling unit) then you can get totals because of the behaviour.

this duplication problem occurs when you count anything, and you have a design layer viewport. so, if you use a design layer viewport and you count or schedule anything, then edit the criteria to focus the worksheet on a particular layer.
