Zone area in GDL

danielcastelli · ‎2023-12-20

Hi there,

I'm creating a label to use in mass plans, and I need to get the zone area but can't find a way to do it.

For GLOB_ELEM_TYPE = 9 (fills) I used FILL_SURF and it worked perfectly.

When I go GLOB_ELEM_TYPE = 11 (zones) I find no equivalent.

ROOM_AREA does not work, and I couldn't use any requests to get the data.

Any insights on how to do this?

Look into the label for zones (I know, the GS objects might be quite daunting).

Keywords: "Builtin.Zone_MeasuredArea" and "request ("Property_Value_Of_Parent",...)".

For anyone else who find this forum, just want to let everyone know that @runxel 's comment works.

To further clarify, the script should look something like below;

n = REQUEST ('Property_Value_Of_Parent','Builtin.Zone_MeasuredArea', type, dim1, dim2,temp_calcarea)

n = REQUEST ('Property_Value_Of_Parent','Builtin.Zone_NetArea', type, dim1, dim2,temp_grossarea)

!temp_calcarea = ROOM_CALC_AREA

!temp_grossarea = ROOM_AREA

Didn't find the answer?
