How to create an area not rectangle?
I tried to create an area surrounding a house, area tool only draw rectangle area, mine is irregular, tried to use polylines, this also draws only rectangle (in its property, the angle is grayed out), am I missing something? What I have to do to enable the angle in its property?

Rooms don't have to be rectangle. Just draw any shape, maybe disabling magnetism.
in its property, the angle is grayed out
What dialog box are you talking about?

After drawing a polyline, if I left click on the line, the line's property comes up, and the dash angle is grayed out. I'll give it a try disabling magnetism.

Yes, that's it, disabling magnetism did it. Thanks.
