Working with calculated properties

- Using calculated properties,…you can calculate a new property…for any feature based on it's attributes…and any joined data for that feature layer.…You can use the resulting property to…filter, theme or select data.…Let's create a calculated property.…I am going to drag and drop buildings into my current map.…Here are the buildings.…Right click on the building layer and create a calculation.…I am going to call it Area SQ. FT. Close that.…We are going to add a geometric, add the area in 2D.…

For the geometric property, we're going to…pick the geometry of the object.…Since these objects are in metric,…we have to convert the area 2D of the geometry into feet.…You do that by multiplying by, so I am…hitting the asterisks key, 10.764.…So we are getting the 2 dimensional area…of the geometry column…and then multiplying it by 10.764 to…get the area in Square Feet.…

Just to be sure, I am going to click…validate to make sure it is fine.…The expression is valid, I will hit OK.…Now if I click on table you can see the area…in square feet for each building.…
