Lisar Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Looking at some of the pre-formatted reports for materials. Wondering why the 'materialsurfacearea' reports as '0'? I can get the area by changing the function 'area' but would like to understand the difference between the two. 'materialvolume' works as expected. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Which pre-formatted report are you using? I am currently using VW Architect 2019 Quote Link to comment
Lisar Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 I looked at "Materials by landscape object" and "Materials Take-off -Spreadsheet" (which has a few typos in the table formatting BYW). Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Thank you for the reply. VW 2019 Architect does not have either of those pre-formatted reports. VW2019 does not have "Materials" ability. I will guess you are using VW2021. I will be upgrading. Quote Link to comment
Lisar Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Materials Default Worksheet.vwx Attaching a simple file of materials with area of '0'. Interestingly, when when I leave the material as the default material, it does report an area but not a volume. If I change the material, it then reports a volume but no area (Shown in attached file) Clarification on how these reports works would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
