Arch Survey Ignores Array Elements

Post by garybarnes59 »

I am trying to get the volume and area of a collection of objects and have noticed that the sub-elements of arrays (generated using Draft Workbench) are not included in the calculation. The base elements are included. This is easily demonstrated by creating an array of cubes and using the Arch>Survey tool. Is there another way of getting area and volume information easily?

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Part CheckGeometry shows correct volumes for link and non link arrays.

Indeed the arch survey hasn't been upgraded yet to work with link elements... on a non-link array, i think it should work fine, though?
