I had posted this before but didn't really get a response, so I figured lets try for round two!!! I need to calculate square footage quickly. I am currently polylining everything, but doing whole buildings is driving me NUTS!!!! Here is what I need to do quicker:
Calculate square feet of each room with these requirements:
- When meeting a hallway to the outside face of the wall
- when next to an adjoining space, to the midpoint of the wall
- When against an outer wall, going to the face of the wall.
Please help! I am going out of my mind polylining everything! Also, the drawings are not polylined to begin with so this is making it harder!

I agree. I know of no way to make use of all the plines.
It will make you nuts at first, but use Spaces. They're flexible and easy to edit. Then you have to Tag each Space...another step, yes. Then you can generate a Schedule that will have more than enough info for you. Then, if you make any changes to the spaces, the Schedule updates automatically.
