Hi! On our drawings, I need to be able to show the apartments total area alongside with all other information (dimensions, tags etc) Is this possible without using Area Plans? I would like to see a tool similar to Room, that could be used for whole apartments. Any ideas? Thanks, Christopher

Use a room seperation line that just does the over all building and have the tag just show the total area. If you want to add seperate rooms thought you are going to need to create an area plan. Also the area tool is very much the same as the room tool.

Shame though that you cant use the area tag on Floor Plans. This is where I would need to use it.

What you could do is add a parameter to you rooms ... apartment #, fill that in for each unit, then add a schedule that filters by aprtment number and totals each apartment area. Place that on your floor plan sheet.

I've thought of that aswell, but it's then we loose the automation in it which is a shame. But from what I have found there is not really any "perfect" way of doing this, without using Area Plans. It would have been perfect if Areas worked in the same way as Rooms. Thanks for all the answers /chris

Seemingly long dead thread, but a solution I've used in the past, is the mechanical Spaces & Zones in the Analyze tab. You have to create spaces (either instead of, or in addition to rooms), and then Zones allows you to add multiple spaces as a means of grouping the spaces. You can create a zone tag that looks like a room tag and it can report on the gross area of the attributed spaces.
One drawback (depending on your calc standards), spaces assume to wall face, and therefore total zone square footage will not include any area used by walls that divide that unit into rooms. So a 30' x 40' apartment wouldn't report as 1200sf, it would be 1200 sf minus the area of the partition walls. I have not found, as yet, a function that can force spaces to calculate to center of wall like you can with rooms.
Would be handy if Autodesk would port over the same functionality that Zones have relative to Spaces but for Rooms.

Hi is there a way to bring the total area as calculated in a schedule back into a tag?
or can a total be calculated within a tag?

The only calculation available in a tag is that which is defined in the tag creation. I don't see any means of doing that from a schedule.
