lisp to calculate total areas

please i need a lisp programming for autocad to caculate all the closed areas in a certain layer, also i need another program to calculate the total area of all the similar shapes ie: when u select assume a rectangle of dim(a,b) so it check all the similar rectangles and give the total summation area of the all of the same dimesnsions, anybody can help plz

Search here first for "area lisp" lots of them out there.

hello plz i need it to calculate every closed area including circules and elipses and all closed polylines if curved or straight, if any, thanks again

Something like:

(defun c:sarea(/ aSum cSet cSet)
 (vl-load-com)
 (setq aSum 0)
 (if
   (setq cSet
   (ssget '((0 . "*POLYLINE,SPLINE,CIRCLE,ELLIPSE"))))
   (progn
     (foreach c(vl-remove-if 'listp
                 (mapcar 'cadr(ssnamex cSet)))
(if(vlax-curve-IsClosed c)
  (setq aSum(+ aSum(vlax-curve-GetArea c)))
  (ssdel c cSet)
  ); end if
); end foreach
     (princ(strcat "\nTotal area = " (rtos aSum)))
     (sssetfirst nil cSet)
     ); end progn
   ); end if
 (princ)
 ); end of c:sarea

Thanks very much for the lisp "sarea" i used it but something missing because i drew with the polyline a closed shape including some arcs but couldnt calculate its area ie: like a closed barrel-vault or a closed dome but couldnt give me its area, it is saying zero knowing that it is closed.

i want to give you this polyarea.lsp please so if anybody can help:

It is calculating all the closed areas you imagine except the circles so can you please modify this lisp to take the circle in to consideration when giving the total areas summation:

;;POLYAREA.LSP - ©

;;

;; Calculates the area of one or more closed polylines and

;; displays the result in an AutoCAD Alert Window.

;;

(defun C:POLYAREA (/ a ss n du)

(setq a 0

du (getvar "dimunit")

ss (ssget '((0 . "*POLYLINE"))))

(if ss

(progn

(setq n (1- (sslength ss)))

(while (>= n 0)

(command "_.area" "_o" (ssname ss n))

(setq a (+ a (getvar "area"))

n (1- n)))

(alert

(strcat "The total area of the selected\nobject(s) is "

(if (or (= du 3)(= du 4)(= du 6))

;

;The following 2 lines translate the area to square inches and feet

;for users using US engineering or architectural units:

;

(strcat (rtos a 2 2) " square inches,\nor "

(rtos (/ a 144.0) 2 3) " square feet.")

;

;In the following line, change the word "units" to whatever units

;you are using - meters, millimeters, feet, etc.

;

(strcat (rtos a 2 3) " square units.")))))

(alert "\nNo Polylines selected!"))

(princ)

)

(alert

(strcat "POLYAREA.LSP © "

"\n\n Type POLYAREA to start"))

(princ)

please, i need all results in meter square only, so anybody can modify it, thank you all for help

i used it but something missing because i drew with the polyline a closed shape including some arcs but couldnt calculate its area ie: like a closed barrel-vault or a closed dome but couldnt give me its area, it is saying zero knowing that it is closed.

I think it visually closed but not closed by Close option (look properties window for this polyline). Now this check is removed an result in square meters (if drawing units is mm):

(defun c:sarea(/ aSum cSet)
 (vl-load-com)
 (setq aSum 0)
 (if(setq cSet(ssget '((0 . "*POLYLINE,SPLINE,CIRCLE,ELLIPSE"))))
     (foreach c(vl-remove-if 'listp(mapcar 'cadr(ssnamex cSet)))
  (setq aSum(+ aSum(vlax-curve-GetArea c)))
); end foreach
   ); end if
 (princ(strcat "\nTotal area = " (rtos(/ aSum 1000000)) " m2"))
 (princ)
 ); end of c:sarea

This lisp calculate a total area of selected entities by layer
