Changing the format of the room area
In my country, please like to see their room sizes in the foot' x foot' format rather than squared off. How to display a room area from lets say 60 sq ft to 10' x 6' without manually typing?

Thanks

Re: Changing the format of the room area
You have to change the unit in Preferences.

Re: Changing the format of the room area
I am sorry but I am not able to find it in the preferences. I have already chosen foot/inch/fractions as Unit if that's what you mean.


Correction to my OP...


"In my country, people like to see.." rather than please like to see.

Re: Changing the format of the room area
Your way to note the area would work only for rectangular rooms!
You could add dimension lines to indicate the room size too, or even a simple text displaying whatever you want.

Re: Changing the format of the room area
I have tried even in the rectangular rooms but still no option. Its always sq ft.

Re: Changing the format of the room area
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, but this option doesn't exist.

Re: Changing the format of the room area
By the way Puybaret, can you please add a feature to align windows/doors at the center of a wall?

Re: Changing the format of the room area
The real estate industry here is boring. Mostly squares and rectangles so no problem with ft x ft format. You are right. I didnt consider a shape like that, like swimming pools. But most clients here care for the room dimensions more than swimming pool. Not that there are too many people that could afford a pool here.:P

Re: Changing the format of the room area
You also wright.
Here is my apartment. Is not a swimming pool but not quite ordinary geometry.

You can provide the area & dimensions for someone who want to build Your project not their own.
Please excuse me if I obsessed You praying
