Area types are used for more granular metrics. Types like “1 Bedroom Unit” or “Corridor” can be assigned to sketches/buildings for the creation of area plans.

Creating an area type

Area types are parented by a building function. For example, you may have a “1 Bedroom Unit” area type within the Residential function.

To create an area type:

  2. Hover on the building function you wish to add an area type to and click the settings button that appears beside the function name.

  3. Click the + button in the Area Types section of the Edit building function menu that appears.

  4. Change the name, unit size, and stalls per unit inputs as needed and click Save to create the area type.
