KarenLF Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Hello, When I define a room and a label is added to the space with dimensions, those dimensions do not match the interior dimensions that I drew the room at. I have my defaults set to Framing. In the picture below, you can see that the room dimension is 16' but the label is calling it 15'-11". Please advise.

DBCooper Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 As far as I know, the room label will always show room dimensions to surfaces, not to framing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The label is referencing the drywall layer, 1/2" each side. It drives me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renerabbitt Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I personally never found room dimensions to be useful at all under any circumstances. Dimension the rooms. What happens when you have an L shaped room...it's just not useful in my opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do floor plans without dimensions for this purpose for some of my building clients. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s what clients and salespeople want to see. We sell net liveable area not 2x4’s. I agree that it’s totally useless for construction docs, however.
