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
.dwgfile 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.
