Find inserts retrieve hosted elements from another host

[miguel_gutierreztTKQKX]

Hi community,

I've this room 

And it can be seen that the window is hosted to the left wall:

Now I'm trying to get paint areas of the wall that bound a room which includes to substract area of the openning.

What happens is that the FindInsert method for the right wall is retrieving the left window opening somehow

This is the final geometry I get when I loop through this wall before throwing the exception:

                                                        IList<ElementId> wallInserts = wall.FindInserts(false, false, false, false);

                                                        DirectShape ds5 = DirectShape.CreateElement(doc, new ElementId(BuiltInCategory.OST_GenericModel));
                                                        ds5.SetShape(new List<GeometryObject> { overallOpeningSolid as GeometryObject });

                                                        DirectShape ds6 = DirectShape.CreateElement(doc, new ElementId(BuiltInCategory.OST_GenericModel));
                                                        ds6.SetShape(new List<GeometryObject> { wallFaceExtrus as GeometryObject });
                                                        tr.Commit();
                                                        return Result.Succeeded;

Any insights on this matter?

Thanks in advance

Hi @miguel_gutierreztTKQKX,

I would suggest you take a look the blog written by @jeremy_tammik  below.

https://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2015/03/calculating-gross-and-net-wall-areas.html 

It explains on how to calculate the gross area of the wall and also finding the net wall areas

sorry for the late reply, I injuried my shoulder and was taking a rest

I solve this by making sure the id's retrieved from the method findInserts have a host element Id equal to the wall I'm into. Nice source by the way. I'm checking it now 

Thanks much !
