| How to compute the surface area of the envelope excluding openings greater than or equal to 1.80 m².morisdidonato 2023-10-13 14:21:10 Request: I want to exclude from the calculation of the coating (plaster, painting, etc.) all openings that have a surface area greater than or equal to 1.80 m². Response: The "selection filter" function allows you to select openings (doors, windows, openings) that have a surface area greater than or equal to, for example, 1.80 sq. m. To proceed, follow these steps: - Select the envelopes where the coating will be applied. - Drag the price list item related to the coating onto the "add..." text in the takeoff toolbox. - Choose the categories. - In the "MetaTAKEOFF Editor" window, enter the measurement criterion, in this case, the surface area excluding openings, and confirm. - Select the openings with a surface area greater than or equal to 1.80m² to be deducted, setting a filter in the "Selection Filter" with the condition "Surface of the 1st Opening >= 1.80". Click the link to see how to apply a filter: video.accasoftware.com/EN/edificius/id28/index.html?idPLV=123&autoplay=1 - Calculate the openings using the same price list item and categories used for the coating. - In the "Measurement Model Editor," use the variable "surface of the first opening" (for doors and windows) or the variables "Width" x "Height." - Before closing the "MetaTAKEOFF Editor," use the +/- button to make the line negative and obtain the deduction of the item. |
