confused   How to show area between walls ?
Hi,
when you create rooms, you can have their area displayed.
see below in the screenshot:


In the following screenshot you can see that area can also be displayed in the mode with walls, but how?


I used the forum search but it only returned posts like:
Area calculation and auto dimensions for 2D

thank you in advance

Creating a room!
After you create a closed space with walls (preferably connected),
select room tool from tools bar and
double click inside the space formed by walls.
A new room with their surface will appear.

I suspect that you are trying to find where the area display is switched on/off in the modify walls dialog but the room is a separate object with its own modify dialog. Double click on the room and you get the modify room dialog. At the top right you see a checkbox where you can switch the display for the area on and off.
