Show net and gross area in plan

[coolenyoshi]

Hello, this is our office working method: Each floor plan shows the net and gross area of the total housing unit. (Capture01) The net and gross area of the housing unit are separate area plans with only area tags visible. (Capture04) The floor plan and the area plans are placed on top of each other on the sheets. I am looking for a method to present the results clearly. How can I automate a box with a background around the results? (Capture02)

Add the box as a filled or masking region to one of the tag, with room to spare so that you can place the other tag in it when overlay views.

Maybe Spaces and Zones could get you to where you want to go.

Unfortunately spaces and Zones is not avaible in Revit LT.

I tried this solution before. However revit only masks the text. Not the whole box.

Even if spaces and zones were available, they would be the equivalence of rooms and areas, not net areas and gross areas.

I will take a look at the masking issue when I get to the computer with Revit.

Based on the information provided, it seems like you are looking for a way to automate the process of creating a box with a background around the results on your floor plan. To achieve this, you can explore using software tools such as AutoCAD or Revit that offer features for creating dynamic annotations and customizing the appearance of objects. These tools can help you automate the process and present the results clearly by adding boxes with backgrounds around the desired areas on your floor plan. It would be helpful to consult the net worth documentation or seek assistance from experienced users of the specific software you are using for detailed instructions on how to achieve this.

Modify your area tag and add a masking region behind the text.
