Hello, good night, everyone. My name is Edgar, I’m an architect here in Brazil. I’m new here and I’m asking for some help. I created a dynamic component of a wall, I need to take the area of a face of it, why when I stretch or raise the wall, the area of the wall does not update in the component option panel? To update the area I always have to enter the attributes component and click on the formula for the account to be redone, then yes it changes in the option panel of the component, Please, I need automatic change, thank you very much. ---
