Hello,

I'm currently working on conducting BOQ for "clients modifications" (original design vs. Modified designs) using excel, and sometimes clients asks for modification that require adding walls with thickness (200mm), which in my country is calculated in m3 due to the construction market.

I've tried using the "calculated value" in the filtering option of the takeoff quantities and made the formula using volume, but this means that I have to manually segregate walls 100mm from walls 200mm. which will be no better than using Excel.

Q.1 - How can I make revit to automatically calculate (walls 200mm) in m3 only ? I want the Revit be like ( when you find the type called "Walls 200mm"; use this calculated value I made, and in case of "walls 100mm"; use this calculated value I made). You know what I mean ?

Q.2 - The method I thought about using to conduct the BOQ in general is to build the original design plan, then rebuilding the new modified plan and calculate the difference between each, are there any other methods better than this ? plug-ins perhaps or new tricks ?

Thank you for your time, please feel free to add any suggessions that may help in this case

I'm using Revit 2016.

I would sugggest that you split into two schedules, with the one filtering out walls to be measured in m2 and the other filtering out walls that are to be measured in m3.  You can put the two schedules together on a sheet.
