Spot and Object Area Report

This function allows user to compare area stored as object metadata with a spot (vector element) linked to given object. 

A user can select an object class, like Room, metadata field - like Area NTA and a  layer that will be used to select spots, like global NTA layer or local drawing layer. 

Area value found in metadata field will be compared automatically with calculated spot area.

A result is presented in form of a report that can be exported as Excel file or converted into a graphical presentation showing correct and wrong area directly on the drawing. 

Run report for specific document and Layer

In the first step, please navigate to the desired document view. Select Document - Manage from the menu:

Open

Next, please select a specific Layer for which you would like to run the report. Spots (vector elements) form this layer will be used in the report. 

This report is "document oriented" - it will include all objects linked to spots on this specific drawing and layer. 

Go to Manage Vector Entities tab and select Check Entity Area function. 

Open

A report window is opened and is preset for this document and layer. Now please select object class and metadata field that you would like to use:

Spot area will be compared against that field with a Comparison precision. Please note that area will be compared after it is rounded to given number of decimal places. 

Example: if calculated spot area is 15.7999 and a metadata field value is 15.80, data used for comparison with 1 decimal place will be: spot: 15.8 and metadata - 15.8. 

When all options are set, please use "run Report" function to create the report. Observe the status column to see if there are any differences or errors. 

Possible results are:

• Success - there is no difference detected between spot area and metadata field value

• Area values differ - there is a difference in area detected between spot and object metadata value

• Missing value - there is no value to compare

• No Object linked - there is no object linked to given spot

• Multiple Objects of the same class linked - given spot has more than one object of selected class linked - unable to compare

Run Report from Tree View

To run the report for entire subtree, please use the context menu available under right click on object in TreeView:

The report is now preset to be run for all objects in the given subtree and requires the following options:

Object class, metadata field to be compared, comparison precision and a global layer selection. 

The subtree report can only be run on a global layer. To run report on a specific local layer, please start the report from Drawing Manager. 

Other functions and possibilities are the same for the report run for specific layer, as described in "Run report for specific document and Layer".

Configure Area Presentation style

Presentation is limited to either correct (success) or incorrect (failure) result. To find out more about the error, report details must be inspected. 

System administrator can set specific style for both situations in the General Settings - Area Report section. Please select Success or Failure tab and set appropriate style. 

Apply Area Presentation

Results of the report can be presented as filter on the drawing. Please use "highlight" function on the report window in order to apply filter to current drawing.:

Export results to Excel

Report results can be exported to excel file (.xlsx). On the report window please select Download (XLS) function.  

A task creating the report will be started. When the task is finished, please download the file using get result button:
