Site areas call properties of the site as defined by your project boundary.
This includes both the basic site area and calculated areas such as the building footprint, roads and hardscape, landscape and open space, and even rooftop landscape!
These values are used in Urban, and site area components in Analytics
Site Total Area
total area within the site boundary
Building Total Area
Sum of area of level 1 of all geometries with building type usages
Landscape Total Area
sum of area of all ground-level geometries with landscape type usages
Paved Total Area
sum of all geometries with Paving type usages
Road Total Area
sum of all geometries with road and path type usages
Rooftop Landscape Total Area
sum area of all landscape with ‘force stack’ on
Site Ex All total area
total site area - landscape total area - paved total area - road total area
Site ex building total area
total site area - building total area
Union all total area
building total area + landscape total area + paved total area + road total area
Site areas for each precinct, stage, or parcel
Use the Group by drop-down in Analytics to work out site areas and FSR/FAR for each sub-precinct, stage, or parcel. Group by any property your geometries share. This can be a custom property, like a "Precinct" property you add to each building and landscape polygon.
When Analytics is grouped, Giraffe calculates these site areas separately for each group, using only the geometries in that group:
Building Total Area
Landscape Total Area
Paved Total Area
Road Total Area
Rooftop Landscape Total Area
Union all total area
Site Total Area is the area inside the project boundary. It shows the same value in every group.
