Is there a place in the wall definition tab to indicate if a wall is exterior or interior? I have a formula for sill sealer to calculate where there is a pressure treated bottom plate and is an exterior wall. But my report is actually counting pressure treated walls that are exterior and interior. I should only have 2 rolls of sill sealer but SoftList is reporting 5 rolls. How do I make sure it is just counting exterior walls?

Thanks!

seems like if a wall part is marked bearing in the definition then it is considered exterior

Here is my formula.  I sell it by the foot, so hence the coverage is different than you would want.

 

There is a box for ""Exterior".  But, I also get too much due to the basement exterior walls being concrete and 2x4.  

 

So, if you are building on a slab, my formula should be accurate.  If have a basement and have your perimeter framed then you will have too much.
