Custom estimation tool vs wall tool

Hi,

I have a question: What’s a better workflow for estimating waterproofing on the surface of foundations? I have tried two methods; one I prefer, but I’m unsure if there are unintended consequences associated with this option.

Prefered

  1. Select the face of each foundation to be waterproofed inside the group, and then apply the product using the custom estimation tool and select duplicate geometry

  1. Apply the waterproofing to each face using the wall surface tool. This is a lot more time-consuming when there are lots of faces

The drawback of option one is that it lacks thickness.
.
I am applying both to a tag called waterproofing, as I am changing the default tag

Thanks,
Gareth.

Hi Gareth,

I think Method 1 is the better way of doing it out of the two options you mentioned.

However I think using the Single Masonry wall type of the :wall_tool: Wall Tool & creating a material for the waterproofing where the brick is applied (select “none” for the other fields) will give you an quicker result that will also have a thickness. It will also allow the weaterproofing to be editable & be adjusted if the footing is changed.
