    Show room dimensions on only some rooms?

    Is there an easy way to show the interior dimensions of only some of the rooms in the plan, while labeling all the "rooms"?

    I don't really want to show the dimensions of things like hallways, WC compartments, closets, etc, but I would like them to be labeled on the plan. Or do I just type the room names in as text?
    thx, D

    You should be able to turn off the room dimensions in your layer display options and leave the room label on.

    Sorry, I didn't read the post slowly enough. Not sure how to pick and choose the rooms.

    Use a normal text item to label the rooms you don't to show the dimensions

    Or...
    Use the Room Dimension text macro for the rooms you want to show the dimension.
    You can copy the text to any room and the dimensions auto update to suit the room size.
