I’m working on that Master Planned Community again. This time, my colleague Brian and I are designing some green Best Management Practices for a townhouse/condo courtyard.
This is just a quick tip that is useful in a variety of circumstances. Whenever you need a cumulative area of something, create hatches. Then, pick each of the hatches. The property window will give you the cumulative area.
There are quite a few ways to tackle the study of “areas”. I like parcels and catchment objects for many things, but sometimes you just want a quick benchmark. If your hatch is associated with its boundary, this area will be dynamic if you adjust the boundary.
What are some of your best workflows for figuring out different cover types for stormwater management analysis?

The Region command is pretty useful. Especially if you have areas you need to subtract from a larger area.

Another idea would be to use the QTO tools to add different pay items to the hatches and the just run the takeoff command.
