Assess Floor area by plots

Hi There,

I am trying to calculate the floor area of buildings (FAR) by plots in order to perform an design analysis for a given urban structure. Unfortunately I am not so skilled in managing data structures (trees and arrays). I’ve already managed to assess the floor areas of the specific buildings (Fig.2). Now I’d like to add those areas (floor areas) clustered by plots. That means: If two or more buildings are standing on a plot their floor areas shall be added.

Fig.1: exemplar design instance

Fig.2: First stage grasshopper script (succeeded in assess floor areas by building)

Thank you in advance and many greetings,

Gustl

Ha, you beat me to it. Ok, your solution is better :D

So I gave this a go. First I thought you meant total area by floor, so I left that in there as well (red group). The main solution is in the yellow group. Not 100% happy with it yet, because its not 100% parametric, because it explodes the tree just before the end. So if you have more plots you need to add more outputs to it. But it works now ;)

The key for working with the contours and also "point in curves" is to use "flip matrix" at the right locations. Also there is "point in curve" and "point in curves"!
