The schedule updates to sort and subtotal the rows accordingly. It shows the percentage of surface area for
each exterior material, as well as square units.
In this example, the exterior surface areas for some mass floors (such as Square Level 4 and Wedge Level 6)
are larger than those for other mass floors because they are calculated differently. See Mass Floors at the Top
of a Mass on page 595.
Also, where the masses are joined, the inner surfaces between masses are deducted from the exterior surface
area. See Overlapping Mass Faces on page 593.

Perimeter Analysis Example

In a sample scenario, you have designed masses to explore a conceptual design for a building. (See Examples
of Conceptual Design Analysis on page 600.) The design contains many angles, and it may be too expensive
to build. You want to produce rough cost estimates, based on its linear dimensions, to check construction
costs for the project.
