Reporting GFA from Tutorial 11 to my 3D buildings

IrenePosada — Tue, 21 Dec 2021 18:37:39 GMT

Hi everyone Im fairly new to City Engine and just understanding the basic CGA grammar. Im trying to calculate the GFA of 3D buildings (acquired from here https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doitt/initiatives/3d-building.page) using the Tutorial 11 Reporting but modifying it to my 3D buildings. This is what I have so far but not sure if its in the proper format. My question is how can I modify it so that it intakes already built 3D objects? Does this methodology account for setbacks in buildings? Any help would be appreciated
