Vertical Surface Areas/Wall Joins

is there any way to remove the wall faces at a wall join? I’m trying to calculate the surface area, but it double counts the surfaces at the wall joins.

thank you in advance for any help.

@Damien_Desantis I think rather than getting the individual Elements’ faces, you want to get the faces of their joined geometry as a whole. Use Element.Geometry to get the solids of the walls. Join those solids into one solid, and then get the faces of that solid.

Hello. Sorry to reopen the topic again. however This solution of yours is exactly what I need. However it hasn’t worked for me. I tried using specific nodes of elements, for example, types of ceilings, or walls, etc., or selecting by element faces, etc., and it doesn’t generate any results. What can it be? Would you help me? I need to join two ceiling linings for example, or join walls and delete the faces that meet.
