sizes for lines, rectangles, fills etc

[sarahric]

Hello,
I would like to know why ArchiCad does not give me information on the size of an object. I draw a line or a rectangle and I have to get the measure tool to know the size, or I have to open the Element Information palette everytime I open the program, and then sift through all the information.
Then if I want to change the size I have to add or subtract and then move each side/point. Why isn't there a box in the info box like there is for the design tools (slab, wall, object)?

Sure there is.
Just select what you want in plan.
Then right click on the schedule in Project Map or View Map and choose "List floor plan selection only".

Super, Barry! Never saw that before.

Thanks!
