One of Hypar’s main benefits is live metrics: as you plan, Hypar continuously measures your model and compares it to your program.
The metrics panel
The metrics panel (top-right) shows live figures for the project.
- Counts, including actual vs. target counts
- Net Areas, measured from the inside face of walls, of program groups
- Net Area
- Gross Floor Area
- Gross-up factors at building and department level
Quick counts
Select any set of elements, or everything, and the panel shows live counts: how many desks in the plan, seats in a space, and the areas that go with them. A fast answer to “how many desks do we have so far?” mid-meeting.
Space Labels
If your space has a target area defined in the requirements, space label will show both your target (programmed) and actual area. If it has no target area, labels will just show actual area, measured from the inside face of the wall.
Export to Excel
Export metrics to Excel (the button at the bottom of the program panel, or Main menu → Export) produces the full breakdown as a spreadsheet: areas, counts, deviation percentages against target program areas, desk and seat counts in detail, and per-space and per level metrics on a separate tab, ready to filter, pivot, and chart.
