I'd like the space tool "finishes" to have have individual "area's" associated to them, either automatically or manually, for example;
Wall Finish; could have the total wall area minus the doors and window openings. This could be an automatic area input as the space tool is already linked to the wall tool.
Floor Finish; could have the floor area of the room but minus the kitchen cabinet's area as the floor finish does not usually continue under them. This would most likely have to be a manual area input, unless it could recognize the cabinet tool.
Ceiling Area; could have the total ceiling area minus any skylight openings. This may be an automatic area if it could be linked to any slab object on the ceiling layer, this way it would also work for sloped ceilings.
All this would greatly aid in extracting more accurate material quantities for take-off's.
