Standard Area is measured from the center of interior walls to either the outside surface of exterior walls or exterior wall framing, depending on the Living Area to setting in the General Plan Defaults dialog. 

Interior Area is measured from the inner surfaces of all the room's walls. Its format is set on the Dimension Format panel of the Room Label Defaults dialog for the current floor. 

 

You can turn those on and off by going to layers/rooms, interior area and rooms, standard area

Hi Brian,

 

Thanks for your response. Please see that I see (main layer and surface) in the living area to setting. So main layer means exterior wall farming and surface is outside surface of walls? Please see attached.

Selecting Main Layer will calculate Standard Area to the exterior face of the Main Layer. Selecting Surface will calculate Standard Area to the exterior face of the exterior finish of the wall, minus bay, box, and bow windows. This is in line with the ANSI Z765 method for calculating square footage.
