Importing area values on the floor attributes of a property
By using the correct configuration it is possible to import a drawing's gross area, gross internal area and net area into the Planon application.
Procedure
1. Set up your CAD drawing definition.
In your CAD drawing, the area data can be stored on different layers.
a. Select the drawing you want to import and navigate to the CAD business objects level.
b. Select the floor and go to Details > CAD business object mapping.
c. Here, make sure that the CAD layer field is specified for this floor.
* 
•    There is no need for a field mapping of any kind, you can leave the Field mapping step empty to import the Gross area, Gross interal area and Net area values.
•    The Net area value will be used to populate the Gross internal area.
2. Go back to your drawing definition and run the import.
Go to Spaces & Workspaces, select your property and go to Components > Floors and notice that the area values are imported.
