What Do the Statistics Mean in magicplan?

magicplan offers a detailed Statistics section that helps you understand the scope of your project by calculating key metrics at both the project and room level. These statistics can assist with planning, estimating, and reporting, giving you a clear overview of your space.

Where to Find Statistics

Open your project in the magicplan app.
From your Project Dashboard, find “Statistics” in the left hand sidebar menu, and tap “See All”.
Review Statistics for Rooms or Objects.

ℹ️ Note: For a more detailed breakdown of all objects included in your project (e.g., furniture, appliances), switch to the “Objects” tab within your Statistics. This tab lists the number of each object type but does not include their dimensions.

Project vs. Room Statistics

When you open the Statistics section in magicplan, you'll see:

Project Statistics listed first, which summarize totals for the entire building.
Room Statistics listed below, which break down the same metrics on a room-by-room basis.

Key Statistics Definitions

Here’s a clear breakdown of each available statistic:

Basic Counts

Floors: Total number of floors in the project.
Rooms: Total number of rooms across all floors.
Doors: Total number of door objects placed in the project.
Windows: Total number of window objects placed in the project.

Surface and Area Measurements

Ground Surface with All Walls

Area of the building's footprint, measured to the outside face of all exterior walls.

No deductions are made.
Represents the full extent of the structure.

Ground Surface with Interior Walls

Area measured to the inside face of the exterior walls, excluding wall thickness.

No deductions for internal elements.

Ground Surface without Walls

Usable interior space, measured to the inside face of exterior walls, and excluding:

Exterior wall thickness
Interior walls
Structural objects

💡Tip: This statistic is best for understanding functional, habitable space, or Living Area.

Wall and Perimeter Calculations

Walls with Openings

Total surface area of all interior walls, including any windows and doors.

Calculated by height × width of each wall.

Walls without Openings

Same as above, but excluding windows and doors.

Gives you the net paintable or finishable surface.

Ceiling Perimeter

Total length of all interior walls.

No deductions for openings.

Ground Perimeter

Total length of all interior walls, excluding door widths.

Useful for trim or baseboard estimates.

Living Area Calculations

These values follow standards such as ANSI Z765 or DIN277, and are based on your Living Area settings in the app.

Above Grade Living Area: Living space above ground level.
Below Grade Living Area: Living space below ground level (e.g., basements).
Total Living Area: Combined total of above and below grade spaces.

Each is calculated as:

“Ground Surface without Walls” × the room type’s percentage defined in Living Area settings

ℹ️ Note: Total Area as shown in your floor plan during editing will not reflect your Living Area settings, and will instead reflect the "Ground Surface with All Walls" statistic.

Volume

Represents the three-dimensional space of each room.
Calculated as:

Length × Width × Height

In project or floor summaries, this is the sum of all individual room volumes.
