Counting Bricks

[ktaylor]

Will Revit Structure count the number of bricks and half bricks required for a wall panel? I know the square feet can be included in the schedule but the number of bricks would required would be better.

thanx,

Sorry Revit is not a mason. Only we can decide how to calculate such things. It is possible to create a wall schedule and use a calculated value and other parameters to make a rough prediction but there is no gaurantee it will match what a mason would do or need exactly. You have to decide what is close enough.

Thanx Steve, just thought I'd check. Our guess we'll have to keep counting.:|

Most estimators already know how many bricks per square foot to figure for unit common unit bricks.
