Calculate 101 help

Regarding the shadowed area calculations for a city park: one way to speed up the calculation would be to set up a PLN template with a zone for the Park, import into it the 2dl output file from each shot in the sun study, and add the surfaces of the fills with pens representing shadows (three pens at most) within the Park zone. (This would need to be done for each sun study shot, that is 1296 times.)

What would be the best calculation procedure for quickly getting from the PLN for each shot a list or table somehow resulting in 'sum of area of fill pen 94 + sum of area of fill pen 95 + sum of area of fill pen 96'?

[I am 3 hours into the Calculation Guide and I am totally lost.]
