This section describes how the calculations are computed by BIMMeasure.
Note: The drawing units for values used along with properties in the calculations are based on the setting you have configured in BIMMeasure. When you open a .ifc file or session, the Attached Drawings dialog box is displayed. The drawing unit is used in the Drawing units field.
Scenario with Multiple Objects
The calculations in the formula used with each property (for example, Area) depends on the number of objects associated with that rule. For example, if there is only one object and the total area is 40, "=[Area]+40" formula will give the result as 80. If there are two objects, each with an Area of 20, then the total value will be (20+40)+(20+40), "=[Area]+40" will give the result as 120. Similarly, if there are four objects each with an area of 10, the total value will be (10+40)+(10+40)+(10+40)+(10+40), "=[Area]+40" will give the result as 200.
