Area Tag Calculation:

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Is it possible to have an area tag that kicks out dimensions of the two legs of a right-sided triangle and the area of said triangle?  I currently have it set up to manually enter which is lame.  I struggle with these Revit formulas.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Visit the thread below for a similar formula to show dimensions of a rectangular room in room tag.

Thanks, @ToanDN .
I actually have previously used that thread you directed me to for getting the dimensions for my square areas!  Thanks!

However, how can I modify/control it to just pull dims from a and b?

Yes I realized the formula would be much more complicated than that.  

A: Area

P: Perimeter

a: length 1

b: length 2 = A*2/a

I have arrived to:

P = a + (2*A/a) + sqrt ((a^2 + (2*A/a)^2)/2)

Now P and A are known, you have to find "a" from the above.  I am dizzy and giving up.

@ToanDN, thanks for your efforts!  Sorry to make you dizzy!

I will play around.  Thank you again!!

Cheers!

I mush prefer this kind of finding (attached).
