Schedule split faces of a wall

[Wagurto]

I need to schedule or at least obtain area information of split faces of a wall.
please see attached image.
If you have some sugestion I would really appreciate your input.
thanks

I dont believe you can schedule painted surfaces. Thats why, as tedius and overbearing as it is, here is what i do in areas such as that:

Copy the sketch of the painted area. Then quit sketch mode. Then copy the wall, place it in the same place. Edit its profile, paste the sketch, and delete the 4 bounding lines in its profile, so its profile is JUST that region. Make it a different wall type indicating that condition.

Then select the wall around it, and edit its profile, and paste the sketch again, leaving the bounding lines.

This will give you two entirely seperate walls. Its not a pretty solution, but its fairly easy to do and pretty quick when you get used to it.

We use this strategy to handle the infamous "deleting a door and keeping the opening" situation too...

Can't you just do a material takeoff of the walls, and add the area value? I know I've done this before. View > New > Material Takeoff

Mabrey thanks for the sugestion but I think that will give me the area of the whole wall and not the of the affected stucco area.

Sorry, I meant add the Material Area field and not just the area. Just tested it out, and it works.

Edit: It still gives the default material area incorrectly (not subtracting the split region) but at least you can see the area of the painted region.

brilliant Mabrey I will try it right now.

Mabrey, thank you very much for the tip it really works. However, I tried to to do the same thing for floors but it did not work. it looks like it only find materials applied to the top face of the slab and not to the edges of the slab nither underneath of slab. Have you tried that?
thanks

I can get the material area of both the top and bottom surfaces of the floor, but not the sides. Revit only calculates areas of materials that are in planes parallel to the floor. And in order for Revit to calculate the bottom area of the floor, the material has to be different than floors default material. If you need to get the material area of the sides of floors, you can try different workarounds such as in-place generic families, a thin wall with the profile as the shape you need, etc.
