[PYTHON] Sum area script

[Mathias Jonathan]

Hi everybody!

I developped a python script that sum the zone area  with the help of Poco.

The script sum all zone of the same zone number and put the result in a custom property. You just have to retrieve the value with a label (example file in the zip).

The custom property has to be to string type.

The scrip uses the measured area.

Glad it worked!

There's nothing wrong with using a calculated property to be honest, if you're keeping track of all the created Properties when working with multiple files regarding one project. It can be a nightmare... That's why I tend to minimize the number of Custom Properties and try to find a way to use built-in solutions.

I'm still waiting for Graphisoft to address the need to have a centralized file for Attributes, Properties etc. across multiple files. Ability to create Company Standard Files is something I'm really hoping to get resolved soon.

Well as long as Graphisoft continues to add new features that barely make it to 80% done in the first place and

never updates the old features and removes any bugs I just lost hope at this point.

Thats what brought me here in the first place because the zone stamp tool is a real nightmare.

I really hoped Archicad 28 could count % of areas with new update! 😅 Without need of learning to code in Python 😓

I think that even if graphisoft offer a new tool, it won't be able to answer 100% of our worflow on the matter, it is so diverse!
