Link Area In Tables

[FEA-IT]

Hi,

New to the forum. I'm trying to link areas of polygons into a table in vectorworks (to provide live information on building footprints). Any information on how to do this would be great.

Thanks

you can link the areas to line colours, names on the polygons, classes of the ploygons and many more. you set up a formula that calcualtes the area, and you set up the criteria to look for the class, color, or whatever you want on the polygon.

the Vectorworks Essentials Tutorial Manual available from http://www.nemetschek.net/training/guides.php

has a chapter on linking polygons to a worksheet.

you will find information here as well:
