material schedule is calculating ALL surfaces

So, I am creating a material take off for wall tiles, and we have a base tile that is a sweep within the wall assembly. In order to calculate the wall base I had to explode the walls into parts, and this is where the issue is happening. When I look at the schedule for the main wall tile (the white wall tile above the selected base in the picture), it calculates fine. However, when I look at the base (6 inches in height), it seems to be calculating every single surface and edge in the area on the schedule. In the pictures, you can see the schedule reads out 10 square feet, but the modelled part is 6" tall by 9'-6" long.

 

9.5'x0.5'=4.75 square feet, not 10 square feet.

 

I'm at a loss of ideas, how do I make it calculate the square area of the base correctly?

 

Revit: 2020.2.5

Yes; that's how Revit calculates. Paint the surface and calculate that Material instead.

I ended up figuring out a work around, by adding in the length field I was able to build in a calculated field that would calculate the actual square footage (rounded up to the nearest 1 sqft), that I could then report back to my linear feet field.

@ryley.g.h 

 

It is more practical to use split region to split finish layer and use that for skirting ... this allows you to use the built in thickness/height of the layer in calculations 

 

ie (LxH = Area) and no need for all that 1m long formula :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht:

Man, wish I knew that before spending all that time on the formula lol!
