Area calculations

[ceatinger1853]

Is there anyway to run an area calculation without inserting a room tag?

If you put in a floor within the room's walls, you could go to properties & read the floor area there...

Create an Area Plan, which will very quickly allow you to get areas, and area schedules. You will place Area Tags, but it goes very quickly.

The answer is no and yes...to generate schedules you'll need to tag the rooms. But do you have to display the tags? No...either create a separate view without them or delete the tags once you've assembled your schedule/report. You'll need them at some point to aid in identifying the rooms but you don't have to show them during early phases. You can also create a room tag that only displays area so the name is "invisible"...like attached.
