AutoCad :: Calculating Area Of Floorplan
Nov 1, 2012
Any good tips when it comes to calculating the area of a floor plan? You are supposed to start measuring from the outermost part of the walls, but when I do that I run into trouble with the porch on the bottom of the drawing and the room on top left.
The problems are basically that the porch is not supposed to be included in the total area, and in the room on the top I end up measuring a small area twice if I start my measuring from the outermost part of the walls. This is not very well explained but I've drawn two red lines on the drawing to try to show where the problem areas are.

When I am trying to calculate area, i got wrong answer. At very first i thought it calculates area with inches (iam in metric sys), but then i checked options and its answer should be in mm, but I am getting wrong answer. In my object (which is rectangular) there's many other things, like hatch, buildings and so on. Maybe this can abstract for direct answer, because when i draw just a simple square or rectangle.

I have a building like this and it has a lot of windows.
I know how to calculate an individual window area by using 'area' or 'ls' command. But this is just partial drawing and the whole building has hundreds of windows and it will take forever to calculate one by one and add them together to get the total area. Is there any way to get the whole area easily?
windows are just rectangles (and solid hatch inside the rectangle).

Any quick way of calculating average Parcel Area? I used to export to LandXML and do an area report in CSV. That doesn't seem to be working for me when I export out of C3D 2012.
The workaround I found was to select all the parcels in Prospector, copy to clip board, paste in excel, find and replace "_Sq. Ft._" with 0, then do the average.

I want to calculate aurface area of iparts automatically. there are about 100 ipatrs and i want to find surface area of each ipart. is there any way that i just click the desired surface and its area is written in some file so that i can just go to the next ipart click the desired surface and its area is written automatically on some file.
Is there some option in inventor to define macro for it coz i hav no knowledge of defining macros.

How do I get Revit to schedule the gross exterior wall area? An isolated wall will schedule OK, but once you join it to another at a corner, the reported wall area doesn't match the exterior wall area.

Im using revit 2012.
I have an 11 floor building I wish to create a gross area schedule for. I have made all the area plans, and they all show up under the Gross Building Area Plans. But when i go to create a Gross Building Area Schedule it only lists 7 of the floors. (Leaves out sub base - Lvl2 and gives Lvl3-penthouse)

A question regarding converting angles between co-ordinate systems in AutoCAD .NET.
Im creating my first little utility to form selected block attribute references into a nice neat list. The current version takes a selection of blocks and a list insert location and then moves the attribute references to the location and rotates them to WCS angle of 0.
I now want to expand the program to make it a little more flexible and allow you to form the list parallel to the currently selected UCS x axis (the i.e. and angle of 0 in relation to current ucs's).
I have managed bumble my way through and transform the attribute positions correctly to form a list relative to the current UCS but am strugling on how to work out in code what the equivlanent WCS angle value would be.
I have done some calcs using .net framework to calculate an angle between two vectors (see code extract below). But this introduces a small error into the angles (i.e. if my ucs is set rotated 45 degrees around the zed and i use the below maths, the resulatant angle is 45.0000002 when read in acad afterwards).
Matrix3d ucsCur = ed.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem;
CoordinateSystem3d cs = ucsCur.CoordinateSystem3d;
// the below seems to work by calugulating the angle between two vetrex using .net maths class but this introduce a small accuracy error. Is there a better way?
Double rotAngle = Math.Acos((1 * cs.Xaxis.X) + (0 * cs.Xaxis.Y) + (0 * cs.Xaxis.Z));
//set the attribute reference rotation to the calculated WCS radian rotation value "rotAngle"
attRef.Rotation = rotAngle;
Im sure there is a better way built into the managed autocad wrapper using a tranform matix and the ucs vertex information but dont really know how to go about it. Any links explaining how to work with the UCS in .net.

i have 3 known points, and i know they are 3 of the 4 corners of a square, how do i calculate the 4th? these points are on a skewed square, where the square has been rotated in the x axis and then rotated in the z axis. It must be simple geometry, but i cant see it.

A fundamental question that comes across regularly is calculating values for offset distances, move, radii, etc. If I want to calculate a value of .5 the interface does not accept 1/2 as a valid entry.

My background is actually in Microstation (mainly 2D). I was asked if I could calculate the cut and fill between two topo surfaces. Unfortunately, I don't have the files yet but I will eventually receive them. When I do, what would be the correct method to achieve this task?

We have a good size channel and the section for the channel varies quite a bit. We want to find the volume excavated in the channel between 2 elevations (it is the area of sand per the goetech report)? A template was not used to create the channel surface, breaklines and gradings were used.

I want to know if it is possible to calculate the water displacement volume of an assembly if it were immersed in water.
In other words, I want to create a file in which ALL hollow spaces inside structural members, valves, pipework etc are assumed to be solid so that when that assembly is dropped in water, the total volume of water being displaced will be equal to the iProperty value for volume. I know its possible to hole patch when creating a shrinkwrap, but this is only effective for 'circular' hollow spaces and does not fill obscure or rectangular shaped empty volumes.

I've recently migrated from AutoCAD 2008 (non-industry specific) to AutoCAD 2010 so I don't know if this was an issue in 2009.
Back in 2008, when I choose the 'window' option when specifying a plot area, AutoCAD would show the workspace so that I could manually select a windowed plot area, and at the same time the whole workspace would be greyed out except the previously active window area.
This was handy, because we can have as many two dozen title-blocks (and therefore separate viewports) in paperspace, and knowing what plot area I last plotted or added as a saved page setup.
In 2010, it no longer does that. I now have to rely on the dashed border to know where the active plot area is/was (checked 'display printable area' in options>display tab) which I personally don't really like using.

How to changes the settings for the "Square Area" in mapcheck's closure summary. When I right-click the dwg name in the Settings tab of Toolspace and choose Edit Drawing Settings, then Ambient Settings, I see the Area settings, but in the closure summary, there is also "Square Area". Why are these both there? It WOULD be nice to show sq. ft. as well as acres, but I can't find anywhere to edit it.

I've been learning civil3d for some time now and I really want to understand how the program calculates volumes from road corridors.
When the top code is used to create surface from a road corridor, the created surface coincides with the top of the road pavement (binder/wearing course), which is not part of earthworks.
How can I create a surface at the formation level so as to compute actual earthworks?

I am designing a piazza that most types of vehicles need to circumnavigate. On a scaled location plan, I would like to draw the scaled turning circles of cars and lorries - especially emergency vehicles.
I have the Metric Handbook beside me which has typical 90 degree turns drawn but it is not obvious how they were drawn in the first place.
I have all the vehicle dimensions that I need, I just need to know how to calculate and draw the geometry.

I have been provided a file with a surface, however I have not been provided with the point files referenced to define the surface. As a result, when I try to calculate the quantities in the volume dashboard using a volume surface, I get the error that the surface is out of date. Is there a way to calculate volumes with an out of date surface?
