Currently we don't even have space tags loaded into our stations ...
Do spaces exist on the floor plan and or the area plans?
Currently we are using the rooms / color scheme (by names) for demonstrating occupancy types and rated enclosures ... and the net areas for manually calculating occupant loads ...
We intended to use Areas for the Rentable Areas for unit types, an area plan for Allowable Building Areas and another for smoke compartments ...
Then all of these areas would be displayed on schedules ...
Will spaces do what I'm trying to achieve with Rooms and Areas?
I don't discourage using Area. It has its uses and the flexibility to have different Area boundaries than Room boundaries can be useful. The only drawback is the disconnection between Areas and Rooms.
Spaces and Zones are mostly used for MEP. Using them for architectural is a kind of a workaround to have the benefit of their dynamic relationship. I see no harms but you can give them a try ans see how they fit in your end.
