Gross area calculation

Dear Sirs,
Currently, I am working on a project, and to get the price estimation I need to get gross area of walls. Revit automatically excludes the area of openings - NETTO. Thus, I have created a simple script that allows getting the calculated gross area of walls plus openings.   Even though, it runs perfectly, the main issue that instead of showing the value in all walls, it appears to show only walls with openings and doesn`t show the same thing for walls without openings.
I wonder if it is possible to sort or filter walls that includes openings and then somehow display ones that do not contain it?
Through Dyno Browser I managed to run 2 different scripts, but at some point it`s just overwriting the value.

 

I look forward hearing from you soon.

 


Yours faithfully, 

Dmitri

 

P.S I have attached some snips to get better view of what is going on.

Buildingbook/Areabook addin found under quantification already does that for you

 

Using Dynamo

  •  If you do not want the Openings area to be deducted (regardless of the %) simply get the area from the Geometry/Surface instead of all those nodes and math
  • As for your graph snippets, it is possible to filter and/or implement the method you are currently using for all walls (the ones with and those without inserts) by using dictionaries... 

 

 

 

You can attach the dynamo graph and the Families in question if you need help with that.

Dear @RDAOU,


Appreciate your effort, but I would still prefer to finish with that script, since it is much easier to use it for the company I am currently working in. I will definitely check buildingbook/areabook, but from what I have seen, unfortunately, it is not for free. 

Yours Sincerely,
Dmitri

Buildingbook is free and can install from your Autodesk Account management. As for your Dynamo part...if you need help I would need you to post the graph you have so far and a sample family. I can help you finish it but I do not want to start from scratch

 

Alternatively, you can take it to the Dynamobim.org forum for more input. Here I am not sure you will get feedback from more than 1 or 2 members

Dear @RDAOU,
Thanks again for your time, I have managed to solve this problem by using Element.GetHostedElements. Previously, I was not so watchful and missed the right string. 

Thank you again.

Yours Sincerely, 
Dmitri
