Identify perimeter walls of a property as party wall or external wall

Every properties external walls will either be a party wall (shared with neighbours) or a heat loss perimeter wall (external wall).
In retrofit construction we would be insulating the external walls only so need to identify these separate to the party walls.
we would need to record the dimensions (sqm) of these walls in a report for estimating etc.
Is it possible to quickly identify walls as either external or party walls, and for us to extract the information required.
Additionally showing the two types walls in different colours on the floor plan would be a bonus.

Hi Atomic tangerine Dragonfly , thanks for reaching out! Are you already familiar with the custom fields feature? This would allow you to add a field to each wall in your project where you could define if that wall is an external wall.
More details can be found here: https://help.magicplan.app/create-custom-attributes
Alternatively, you could check out our partial area Beta feature, which allows to define floor or wall areas in a floor plan, including a colored markup of the defined area. If you're interested in checking out this feature, just let me know by replying and tagging me here so we can add you to the whitelisted users.

Finneas Reich i will have a look at partial wall feature. i have used custom fields to identify an external wall from an internal wall but that doesn't enable me to get sqm of just the external wall and party walls
