Linear Openings

Under Review

When using linear with wall area how do you subtract openings ie window or door openings subtracted from the total wall area?

Hi Tony! What is your ideal scenario? Do you want it to actually break the line and have a gap in the linear for the openings, or would you prefer some kind of point count that subtracts wall area for each count based on the opening size?

Hi Heber, actually both scenario if possible. My current program does this now and it is great. Visually it shows a dotted break in the solid line for the opening and also deducts you m2 of that opening size from the total of wall area. You start the cursor at one end of the opening and run it along the wall line to the other end of the opening, when you stop you then enter the height of the opening manually. I have attached two screen shots to explain.
