In the example you can see a composite wall with masonry block core, fiber sound insulation and gypsum plasterboard skins. The wall is crossed by a smaller and a larger MEP penetration. In order to calculate the quantities of the various materials open the new, enhanced Calculation Rules dialog under Project Preferences and set up component level conditional rules beyond the element level rules. Use Building Material Classification to control what components the rules should be applied to.    The Concrete Block — Structural Building Material, which is the core of the composite, is classified as Concrete Masonry. For the Concrete Masonry material classification, we don’t subtract holes that are smaller than 0.5 square meters. To comply with local standards, set up Component level rules for the volume as well. User-defined and configurable conditions make it easy to list components based on their Material-contingent function.  The calculation results will be shown in the schedule. The gross areas are shown for all three materials. For the concrete core, we can also see the conditional value, since we have a larger and a smaller hole. For the net area, both holes have been subtracted, but in the case of the conditional value, only the bigger one was, because the other one is smaller than the size that was set up in the Project Calculation rules to be ignored. #accurate #schedule #material #design #project
