I am doing water calculations for a project adn am wondering if there is a better way of doing what I am doing. I am trying to find the area of drip supplied by each valve. each valve is connected to multiple isolated beds so i need to add each of these beds together in relation to the valve. My current process is as follows:

1) Highlight Station
2) Colorize Station
3) Area Command
4) Select "Add Areas"
5) Select "Object"
6) Pick each hatch identified by the color
7) Write down the area to a piece of paper
8) Enter into Spreadsheet

is there a better way to do this? There seems to be a bunch of automatic processes that are in cad but it seems like LandFX might have a command or process that combines some of these steps?!?
Anyway if not, it would be cool to be able to produce a schedule that would identify the drip areas and give you the square footage that could then be added to the plans or sent to the spreadsheet for insertion into Water Calculations Tables

thanks
Bob
