Number of sequences used for venn diagram

Commands in mothur
1

I have successfully build a venn diagram according to the Schloss SOP. With get.sharedseqs() I could extract the number of sequences behind the 20 OTUs that are shared with all our three groups (A, B and C).

How do I have to adapt the get.sharedseqs() command to get the whole number of sequences for all OTUs in the venn diagram? Or do I have to use another command?

I just wanted to describe the number of sequences of the 20 shared OTUs as percentage related to the total number of sequences used in the venn diagram.

Have you tried including nseqs=T in the venn command?
