Impervious Calcs

Impervious Calcs v1.0

Site coverage analysis, right inside AutoCAD.

Impervious Calcs is a free AutoCAD plugin that calculates pervious and impervious site coverage directly from your drawing geometry. Trace your polylines, select your polygons, and get instant area breakdowns — no spreadsheets, no manual math.

What It Does

  • Pervious & Impervious Coverage — Tracks grass, landscaping, paved surfaces, and manually flagged impervious islands. Areas update live as you add or remove entities.
  • Building Coverage & GFA — Assign floor counts to building footprints and automatically calculate Gross Floor Area (GFA) per building.
  • Floor Area Ratio (FAR) — FAR is computed automatically from your building footprints and site boundary.
  • Canopy Coverage — Track tree canopy polygons as their own category with a separate area total.
  • Retention Basin Tracking — Tag basins separately, with an option to count them toward the pervious total.
  • Impervious Area Subtraction — Mark paved islands or hardscape within a pervious zone; they automatically reduce the pervious total.
  • Live Polyline Drawing — Draw new coverage polygons directly from the panel with a live preview as you pick points, then confirm or cancel.
  • Persistent Data — All coverage data is saved inside the .dwg file itself — no external files, no sidecar data.
  • One-Click Copy — Copy any individual total (area in SF/AC, percentage, FAR, GFA) to the clipboard for pasting into reports or permit applications.
