HomesByDesign Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 In testing the area calculation I found a 10x10 exterior wall is reporting 111 sq. ft. I can't find any reference to mathematical adjustment from the original value, that should be 100 sq. ft. Thoughts? CA13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a test I simple drew a 10' wall, in elevation I made the height 10' = 100 square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Dermot Posted November 20, 2021 Solution Share Posted November 20, 2021 Chief's calculations are 100% accurate. It's just that it may not be calculating things the way you want it to or expect it to. In the case of a single default siding wall that is 10' long by 10' high, you may note that the house wrap is 100 sqft and the siding is 111 sqft. This is because the program is wrapping the siding around the ends but it does not do that with the house wrap. The ends take about 11 sqft more siding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
