I have multiple brick sweeps intersecting.
When I join the intersecting sweeps the wall sweep schedule does not change the reported length.
ie. 1nr 10m vertical sweep (500mm face)intersecting a 10m horizontal sweep(500mm face).
Still reports 20m sweep length.
This should be 9.50m length.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Join Geometry does not split the element. It will not affect the length but the Volume/Area

MTO/QTO? Isn't Volume the critical value you need to compute material quantities (e.g. number of bricks, etc.)? What do you need Length for? There's no Height value to use either.
Not the volume as the sweep thickness is variable. In this case 300mm. The problem I have is the sweep cutting the wall facade does not reduce the m2 area of the facade. Therefore I need to calculate the sweep length to determine the additional brick requirements for the depth of the sweep as a reportable parameter within a schedule.
The sweeps in both vertical and horizontal are in excess of 10,000 linear metres for this 38 storey building
Yah, I'm not following. I have no idea how Length is of value here, but whatever.
BTW: Join Geometry removes volume at the union.
