Question at the SCHEDUELS AREAS M2 ?

studioob112 — Sat, 14 Feb 2026 21:40:41 GMT

i have a question at the schedules part,

this is the schedule that i made for apartment building until now is good but i need some more info things that we use at our city, and i want to adjust that here and to have it automatically in the future.
the red part has spaces outside of the apartments: stairs, hall, elevator etcc..
the blue part has all the apartment and is very good,

at the end i want to add 3 more columns like this:

1. Total areas apartments m2 ( all the aparmtens m2 to be calculated in one row)

2. Total areas of the all apartments and all the other spaces in the red part in the first picture, (apartments area + stairs, elevator, hall etc)

3. Total m2 the whole slab of the building for example in ground floor.

Sorry if my english is not good, im trying to learn to do the work more automatically in ArchiCad, but its a little bit hard.
If someone can help thank you 😄

Operating system used: Windows 26

Hi @studioob112

I don't think it's possible by default, but perhaps you could create as many schedules as you need and stack them in a layout so they look the same.

You could export the schedules to Excel and edit them there. It's a manual process, but it could work too.

well for the moment im doing in excel manually, if there's any way to do it automatically in excel that would be great, i have big projects with a big number of apartments and i want to make it a little easy my work, bc when i get back to do corrections bc of the big project i could forget some details, what do you suggest ?

Hi,

I'm not sure if you can see this directly in a single table, but you can look at the property manager and create a formula from there to perform these calculations automatically.

Similarly, in my country, there are some specific calculations. For example, areas like stairs and hallways are not included in certain calculations, and I need to exclude them. For this, I added a true/false property to the zone. If the zone's “exclude from calculation” property is true, it is not included in the schedules.

Similarly, modeling skirts in multi-apartment buildings is bad for optimization. For this, I prepared a special property that subtracts the width of the doors from the perimeter of the zones, and I can get data without drawing the skirt.
