The display of room labels is controlled in the Layer Display Options dialog. By default, room labels are placed on the Rooms, Labels layer and use the Text Style assigned to that layer. You can specify how the area of rooms is reported by the program by turning on the display of one or more of these layers: Rooms, Standard Area, Rooms, Interior Area or Rooms, Interior Dimensions. Review the information in this article to learn more about these settings.
A Text Style is a saved set of attributes that can be assigned to any object that displays text, including object labels
The Living Area label can be moved or deleted. To restore a Living Area label, access the General Plan Defaults or perform a Plan Check.
Using the Layout Page Display Options dialog and/or the Layout Box Defaults, turning off the display of layout box labels is quick and easy. You can also open an individual layout box and suppress the label, giving you additional control over which layout boxes display them, and which don't.
The Living Area should not be mistaken for the footprint of a house. Only true livable areas are included in the Living Area calculation. By default, exterior and hybrid room types such as Garage, Deck, and Porch are not included. Neither is any room labeled Open Below or Attic.
Room information such as dimensions, standard room area and internal room area can be added to a plan by using macros.
Removing extra object labels is easy to accomplish by adjusting the Schedules that control them.
By default, door and window labels are formatted numerically without unit symbols displayed. To display unit symbols as part of these labels, specify the label to use a macro.
