Setback areas (Abstandsflächen GER)

l_mai9JPAK — Tue, 27 May 2025 11:09:45 GMT

Hello Everybody,

I am testing FORMA for potential analyses of proberties. As our company is located in Germany, Abstandsflächen (setback areas) play an important role. Usally the distance is 0,4 of the building height. As seen here:
abstandsflächen 0,4 - Google Suche

Is there a tool in FORMA to see the setback areas?

Hi Lukas,

Thank you for reaching out.

Currently, we don't have explicit support for this.

The recommended solution would be to use the Measure tool and perform the calculations manually. You can learn more about the measurement tool

Thank you once again for your question. It's valuable feedback that helps us improve our product.

Best regards,

Pål Moen Møst, Engineer at Form Site Design
