Why don't you use Room instead?

To use Area you need to create Area plans. They serve other purposes such as Gross Building Area, Rentable/Usable Area, etc...

No. But you need to manually draw Area boundaries to calculate Areas.

Do you have walls around the Room?

Draw walls, or Room boundaries around your Room and adjust them.
