The Room & Area Tags panel contains both room name and area type blocks

 

Room Names are available in three sizes, small, medium, and large for each drawing scale.

Select the required size and scale, then click the position of the Room Name block within the drawing. Each block is made up of four attributed elements, ceiling level, room name, floor level and room area. These are placed on separate layers within the block so the desired information can be displayed in each drawing. Double click each element to add data.

 

The Area block contains attributed fields for NIA, GIA, and GEA areas for each drawing scale.

 

The Insert Area tools should be used in conjunction with these blocks to automatically insert areas.

Before using two things need to be in place, a polyline drawn to the perimeter of the required area and an attributed block such as the Room Name or Area blocks provided.

 

Select the required area command (1), click on the polyline boundary (2) and then on the attribute required to display the data (3). The area will display as a Field – if the polyline boundary is adjusted the area text will update after performing an AutoCAD REGEN.

 

 

 

The full AutoCAD tool Data Extraction can be used to schedule areas from the area attributes
