Perimeter of exterior building and linear measurements
Perimeter of exterior building and linear measurements
Hi all, is there a way to measure and schedule the external perimeter (overall length) of a building. And measure and display lengths of kitchen cupboards etc. as per the screenshot?
There isn't a one off parameter which applies to all. There are different ways to extract the perimeter/Length of elements. Example:
In loadable families (such as the ones you have mentioned) do not have an overall length. Depending on the category you use they might not even have a length parameter that can be scheduled or tagged. You need to set that up in the families using shared parameter.
Perimeter specific spaces such as wet areas, pantries...etc can be extracted from either Rooms or Spaces...In a room/space/area element, there is a perimeter length which you can tag and schedule
For the building Ext Perimeter: You could also use the the area element which you used in GBA calculation
You can draw several property lines around the footprint of the building, at the kitchen, at the pantry, at the wet area, etc.. and schedule them to show description and length. Distinct them from the actual property line by Mark or Name or Comments and hide them in the views you don't want to show.
Ok, that could be an option. However with the kitchen cupboards and pantry I only need the length. If I draw a property line, I'll get the perimeter of the cupboard which wouldn't be accurate. The screenshot I showed was drawn in archicad so I'm not sure if they have a different system.

A property line needs not to be a closed loop. It can be a single segment, a, open polyline, or multiple unconnected segments.
