Referencing one area to another as Parameter ?

We work in multi-family residential and use area plans to schedule apartments.  We received a request to include the size of the terrace(s) associated with each unit.  Is it possible to add an area parameter that would allow one area (apartment) to pull area data from another area?

My current workaround would be to simply add an area parameter (number) and manually add the data.  However, we would like this to be automated (update the terrace area as the plan gets refined).

Thoughts?

Separate Area or Area incorporated into another Area? 

 

If separate, just sketch the additional boundary. If incorporated, just modify the existing boundary to capture the terrace.  

 

Now for Scheduling a separate Area that is an addendum to another Area, maybe Sort/Group by a commonality, such as "Comments", and check "Footer" and "Grand Total" and "Itemize each Instance".  Set "Calculate Totals" for "Area" under Formatting.

Was the Terrace area part of the original apartment area and you are supposed to split into two columns?

 

Or was the terrace a separate area and you need to combine with the apartment on the same row?

The terrace area would be it's own area.  I didn't know that you can do sub-areas within an area plan.  We would start with making the terrace and apartment areas separate.  Is there a way to make the terrace a sub-area of the apartment as a whole?

Then do what Barth suggested

 

  1. Sort and Group them using a Parameter (either an existing one or add new)
  2. Format Area to calculate totals

If you want them on the same Row...Uncheck Itemize Every instance

Isn't the "Apt. 3" shown in my screenshot above doing exactly that?  It shows the terrace as sub-area of the apartment as a whole.  Is this not what you are after?

Thank you, both.  This is a perfectly acceptable solution if the areas are being sorted by Apartment ID (or whichever area type parameter you choose).  However, our team needs to include a reporting parameter so that the interior area can reference the exterior area.  This would allow us to sort by Level and have all of the apartment areas have separate columns for both Unit Area and Terrace Area.

Thanks again.
