Question:

For the isolated column A in the figure below, how can I arrange finishes to it?

Solution:

Generate finishes by arranging room or arranging wall finish solely.

1) Create a room, and add attached wall finish elements.

2) In an enclosed area, draw a room by point.

3) In the enclosed area, the finishes are arranged to all structural elements, including isolated columns and non-isolated columns.

4) After clicking Summary Calculate, select the wall finish entity at the location A, and view its attributes. You will find that the Parent Entity Type is Column, and the Parent Entity Sub Type is Isolated Column.

Select the wall finish entity at the location B, and view its attributes. You will find that the Parent Entity Type is Column, and the Parent Entity Sub Type is Non-Isolated Column.

5) Separate the quantities of isolated columns and non-isolated columns. Click View Quantity by Category > select Wall Finish > click Set Classification and Quantity > select Parent Entity Type and Parent Entity Sub Type.
