Default SUM CELL BORDERS? (and by colour too?)

Dear all,

I'm a quantity surveyor and have been creating a cost model for a generic
building. Using the formulas below and conditonal formatting I have managed
to create a range of building shapes that are visually displayed within a
workbook. The building's area and perimeter are automatically calculated.
This is very useful for costing external walls, floor & ceiling finishes,
roof, floor slab, foundations etc.

=CellColorIndex(Cell)
=CountByColor(Range,CellColorIndex,FALSE)

I would now like to expand my model and be able to draw onto my plan
internal partitons/walls by using the border options of the cells.

Is there a way to count/sum the cell border lines like the coloured cells
were counted above above? Further is there a way to count those border lines
based on their colour therby enabling differing wall make-ups to be portrayed
and calculated?


Thanking-you in advance,

Neil
