Somehow my entire square footage for the building was shut off, checked layers and that was good.  Any ideas?

I did what you said, however its only working on the second floor, how can I get it displayed for both floors?

It seems maybe there is still a quirk with that and this has to be the oddest work around ever imaginable.  Try running "plan check" and see if that resolves the issue.

For anyone with this issue, double click on the room, and under total room click Include in Total Area Calculation.

Define "total square footage for the building."

 

X15 gives me living area by floor, allowing me to choose the rooms to be included or excluded.  X15 also permits toggling on/off the area label.  I see no output for total building.

Chief says "total" but the labels report total for all rooms included in the floor displayed, for which that radio button is checked.

 

A two-floor house, 1500 sf each floor, will show 1500 sf living area in a label on the plan view of each floor, two separate plan views, floor 1, and floor 2, but nowhere (unless you can show me what I am missing) is 3000 sf reported in a label.

 

I think you are working with one-floor plans.
