Adding percentage to Zone Area schedule

[cadsph]

Hi,

How do you add a percentage column to a zone area schedule? Where each zone/area is a percentage of the total site area?

Please see attached.

Thanks Barry. I managed to get it. (See attached).

It just seems a very convoluted way to determine simple percentages from the model.

I've been asked to do it this way, where I'm gleaning data direct from the model.

I have not been show this method (before now) by the person who asked me to do it. so I'm assuming it could have been done.

I know and saw the revit dept here in our office can do computations in schedules vs Archicad well its always an on going debate which is best but trying to make it work is also another story. 😅

Showing the  plot ratio (Proposed GFA / Site Area) is also a simple yet manual task in Archicad, there's no way I can generate it automatically.

I wish everyone has time to fiddle and learn with several on going projects at hand not that easy... 😶

Yes. I'm a Revit User also, and percentages of site areas can be collated easily.

Hi all, i'm wondering if anyone can help. i can't seem to get the property manager zone areas to work as the above. I've setup the zone property as the above posts but it doesn't seem to be picking up the zone areas. I've done a quick example in Archicad 26.

I'm trying to make an automated site coverage note for my site plans.

Area Analysis using zones and a Python script is a relatively straight forward and easy procedure.  However, it seems that everyone calculates it differently and has their own ideas as how to define it. I doubt if you'll get any definitive suggestions without knowing your specifications, it is just impossible to guess your needs.

Exactly, what do you need to calculate and from what relationships?

Hey Gerry, 

I've used the base Aus select template in Archicad with no changes for this very reason. It's as basic as it comes out of the box. if you look at the previous solution to this thread, you'll see it seems pretty straight forward but for some reason I can't get it to work in the same manor.

I  have no idea what the AUS template is: And the accepted solution uses a manual total area calculation , as I see it. I thought I idea was not to have to be entering a sum manually. But -- Whatever?? That is the essence of the problem - what is going to constitute the  reference areas and how to obtain that? But manual entry works too.
