Statistical Area Concepts

Statistical Areas are user defined polygons that summarize statistically all the numeric calculations within or on their boundaries. Statistical Areas may overlap each other in AGi32 and can be created in Plan or Elevation Views. They are dynamically updated entities that automatically update according to any of the calculated changed made within. their borders.

Statistical Areas are enormously useful in many lighting applications. They allow numerical summaries to be monitored for a variety of different areas independently of the grids, lines and polygons used to analyze the analysis area. For example, it is easy to blanket a site with a single grid or polygon of calculation points, however, it may be necessary to design different portions of that project to different lighting requirements. The solution is to use Statistical Areas to enclose those areas that deserve special attention.
