You should use worksheets to count and report objects in your Vectorworks files, but sometimes you forget which file had the worksheets you want. You should store your worksheets in your library so that they are easy to find.
Costing the Proposed Building. You can use the worksheet to cost the proposed development. If you want to do this, add extra columns to the worksheet when you create it.
Changing the Building Areas. After you have the worksheet working correctly, you can change the areas of the buildings, add garages or other buildings. As long as the new areas are on the correct classes, they will find their way into the worksheet.

Editing the irrigation report.
Building the Worksheet to Count Sprinkler. You can get Vectorworks to count things to suit you, a custom way of counting. In Vectorworks we call this a report, and the results are shown on a worksheet. We can add reports together to collect all the objects we want.
