Room Volume in a Custom Schedule?

[Renerabbitt]

missing important details here...a note is not the same as a room, and though a note will report a rooms information you have to access it.
so in the note it would access standard area by calling room.standard_area.
You can put this directly in the custom field without going into TMM
%(room.standard_area*(room.ceiling_elevation-room.floor_elevation)).round(2)%
Which is in the case that your version of the software doesnt have the measurement class of room.volume

change to "interior dimensions" in your schedule, instead of "standard dimensions"

Curious if 'Interior dimensions' is available in X12?  
I can only find area, interior (sq ft) which returns no value

Do you know the macro for 'Interior Dimensions' so I can enter it manually.  I tried using %room.area.interior% but it doesn't return any value.

You are showing them in your schedule already?
Also it would be helpful if you give more info for these requests...as I can only assume you were putting room in your attempt because you were trying to reference the dimensions vs the owner data from the room publisher...but that's just a guess..what are you trying to do?

Try %room.interior_area%

My volume was not calculating correctly and I was advised to change to "interior dimensions" in your schedule, instead of "standard dimensions", as they thought the "volume" calculation uses interior numbers.

Thanks for the macro, could not get this to work.  I went ahead and sent to the HVAC trade and told him the room volume was not accurate.

Sorry Lisa,

 

In the Room Schedule you should just use %interior_area%.

The key is that you are already specifying the room.

Yes. But I forgot that "volume" was not yet an option in the room schedule in X12. My apologies. 

However, it is weird that your Interior Area (Sq Ft) is not calculating.
