Get SUM from a schedule as Autotext

[alkitri]

I make multiple calculations with schedules, mainly calculating areas per story level.

Is it possible to extract the SUM of a schedule as an Autotext, so that it automatically updates on my layout? Otherwise I need to transfer the data manually, which sometimes can be labor intensive.

Thank you.

Sadly not in that way. But of course you can place the the schedule on your layout, and cut up the whole thing to just show your sum.

The only work around that I see is to use Python script to put the sum in a zone custom property and retrieve this value with a label.

I made some time ago this script: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-Python-API/PYTHON-Sum-area-script/m-p/634934#M1054

Well, there are also things like the TOP-Stempel (DACH version of Archicad), if OP looks for something like that, i.e. tailored to Zones.

Then there is this add-on by @Bernd - Archi-XT.

But it's not a general purpose solution.
