Room Standard Area vs Room Interior Area

[jbaehmer]

I have been wondering this for a long time....what is the difference?  I don't get it.

From the reference manual:

 

Rooms, Standard Area is measured from

the center of interior walls to either the

outside surface of exterior walls or exte-

rior wall framing, depending on the Living

Area to setting in the General Plan Defaults

dialog. It is rounded to the nearest square

foot or mm and does not include the

area within bay, box and bow windows.

 

Rooms, 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.
