Calculating footprint area with fast script

$

0

When sketching out building volumes, getting floor areas quickly out of Rhino requires quite a few steps. Either you have to individually select faces, extract face curves or run a complicated grasshopper script. All steps that get in the way of the flow when modelling design options.

Could someone help with pulling a python script together that gives the total floor area of the extrusions shown below? Note that one volume is 2 stories (one above another volume). Ideally this is something that can be run once you’ve selected the relevant breps, showing you quickly how much m2 (for example) you currently have. It would be great if it could also deal with blocks too.

Any pointers greatly appreciated.
