Multi-page plans

Multi-page floor plans with totals that roll up

Two-storey houses, commercial fitouts, mixed-scale drawings. Each page its own canvas, one project total.

A two-storey house is two pages. A commercial fitout is often six or more. AreaSum treats each page of the PDF as its own canvas with its own scale and its own set of rooms, then rolls every page into a single project total grouped by flooring type. You do not have to stitch floors together by hand or maintain a separate spreadsheet to sum them.

Pages can be added, reordered, renamed and removed without touching the measurements on the others. The scale on page two does not have to match page one — useful when the architect dimensioned floors at different ratios, or when you have a detail callout at 1:50 alongside a building plan at 1:200. Each page remembers its own scale.

For a commercial job that runs to a 30-page tender drawing set, only a handful of pages typically have flooring. AreaSum lets you skip the structural and services sheets and only measure the floor plans that matter, while the page index still reflects the full drawing set. The export reports per-page subtotals plus the project roll-up.

Where multi-page matters most is on jobs that mix flooring per zone: an office fitout with carpet tile in open-plan, vinyl sheet in wet areas and timber in the boardroom across three floors. Each floor gets its own page, each room its own material, and the project total comes out grouped by product. The commercial estimators and home builders pages cover the audience-specific quoting workflow.

Different scales per page

A 1:200 site plan, a 1:100 floor plan and a 1:50 wet-area detail can live in the same project. Calibrate each page separately; the totals still roll correctly because each measurement is in real-world metres after calibration.
