Overview
The Calculating GFA using Polygons on Maps feature allows users to draw an area (polygon) around a building on a Map, creating a building footprint. The system uses the building's footprint to calculate an estimated GFA for the building using the following formula:
Gross Floor Area = Footprint * Number of Floors
User Account Requirements
The user account you use to log into Resolver must have Administrator permission to create the Gross Floor Area Trigger.
