Calculating Zone Area and Zone Volume

Zone area and volume calculation depends on several different settings:

• Relation to Zones options chosen for Walls, Columns, and Curtain Walls, which can affect the Zone’s area and/or volume
• Zones Preferences, at Options > Project Preferences > Zones, containing global controls for calculating Door/Window recesses in Walls, and for refining the area calculation of Walls or Columns in some cases
• The Area Calculation Panel of Zone Settings, which allows you to check the measured area of the Zone and refine the calculated values.
  Note: To see the effect of any changes in Zone calculation settings, you must execute the Design > Update Zones command.
