Hello community.
I need to count the m² of a wall without discounting the openings for doors since the completion of these must be counted in the same way. It is a wooden paneling so I need the complete m² of the wall including the one for the doors. Any idea how to generate this information? maybe with dynamo?
Get the (area of the) opening of the Doors / Windows in the Wall and add that to the area of your Wall and write that to a (custom) Wall Parameter?
Don’t edit the Wall Profile in case you don’t have a Door / Window, but use a Void Family instead.
Also this
multiple wall length by wall height.
This is definitely possible, it just depends on all the different conditions you have as to what the best process will be. If all your walls have the default rectangular profile then all you have to do is multiple wall length by wall height.
I’m assuming this is for interior finishes as you mentioned wood paneling. In such a case I would recommend you use the length of the perimeter curves of the room * the height of the paneling, or the surfaces of the room instead.
