View Full Version : Getting Area of Sloped Walls Created by Mass

We are modelling a building with several sloped curtain walls for an estimating schematic. However, both in Vico Office or Revit's built-in schedules, we are unable to obtain the area of the sloped curtain walls. We have tried both a custom wall family as well as a curtain system. The other walls attached to the mass document correctly. We have also tried calculation by panel, using a custom panel in the sloped walls, but the panels are not all of uniform size so this does not work.

Any help or ideas are appreciated!

Try setting the Maximum Distance to None for the Grids--which will make it a single panel,
then click it to get the area in properties.

Or, you should be able to set up a Material Takeoff schedule and get the Material Area with Grand Total
for all the glazed panels.

cheers

Thanks! That worked!
