    Trying various approaches to get a takeoff on area of any given material in a model.
    The specific application is getting takeoffs of glazing, spandrel panel, wall surface, etc.
    SU native Area> By Material...will not "seek" all instances of a group or component (that includes the material) and total them. it only "Sees" the one instance of the group or component and you have to be IN it.

    Also tried TIG's Component Reporter, but I can't seem to understand how that works or see take-offs on a material.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

      Attached is a yet unpublished plugin of mine that might work for you.

      Usage:Plugins>SDM Tools>Face Tool>Area of Faces by Material


      Area of Faces by Material.rb

      Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

        You can also try FredoTools::ReportLabelArea , which provides reports of areas by Material, digging into the model or selection and differentiating between front and back faces.
