Material Volume is missing in schedule

[shefypattambi]

Dear All,

Please give me a solution for this..the beam material is showing for some element and  for some element it is showing as 0.00. All the members are from the same family and type.

Hi Shefy,

It s very difficult to suggest any solution simply based on that picture...

Could you maybe send a file? containing a beam and you schedule?

As hotfix, you can use element Volume instead of Material Volume.

The thing is that columns and beams are joined wrong. In screen capture below you can see sort of phantom geometry inside the column. That fantom belongs to highlighted beam and gives us zero material volume.

If you disallow join and trim the beam to the column surface, that's phantom and zero material value will disappear.

Did you access the disallow join option by right click mouse?

I think this option is gone in Revit 2017.1 version

[semko_dm]

I'm already on revit 2017.1 and it's still here under right mouse click.

But be careful, after this join\trim
actions , you must check your analytical model.

Now disallow join is appearing once I right click on the drag end bubble. Did you try "switch joint order command'' option. it will eliminate that null volume from schedule and also it would not affect our analytical model.

But I feel that there is some problem. In previous version of Revit  I am always draw the beam from center to center and the beam will cut back depending upon the bounding box set in the beam family. But in this case the bounding box is not working as intended. I have to investigate more.

[semko_dm]

I won't tried "switch join order command'', but you are right it's the best way, and it have no problem with analytics.
