Question:

In actual projects, the structural materials may include concrete, brick and so on. As shown in the figure, the material of the wall at location A is brick, and the material of the wall at location B is concrete. How can I distinguish the finish quantities for different materials?

Solution:

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

2) Draw it in an enclosed area.

3) Select the wall finish in the location A, view the Material of Attached Surface attribute, and you will find the material of its parent entity, Brick, is shown.

4) Select the wall finish in the location B, view the Material of Attached Surface attribute, and you will find the material of its parent entity, Concrete, is shown.

5) Click Summary Calculate > View Quantity by Category > select Wall Finish > set classification condition > select Material of Attached Surface.
