Removing Areas
After creating areas, you can remove areas from a building model in the following ways:
■ Unplace : Removes the area from its location in the area plan, but the project still contains information
about the area. Then you can place the area in another location later during a project redesign. See
Unplacing or Moving Areas on page 951.
■ Delete : Completely removes the area (including all information about the area) from the project. See
Deleting Areas on page 952.
An area plan and an area schedule
Unplacing or Moving Areas
When you add an area to a floor plan, the project stores information about the area. This can include
information that you add using area properties, such as the area name, usage, and so on. (See
Area Properties
on page 949.) You can see information about areas in an area schedule. If you want to retain information
about an area but remove it from its current location in the building model, unplace the area as follows.
To unplace an area
1 Open an area plan view that shows the area.
2 Select the area.
Check the status bar to be sure that you have selected the area and not the area tag.
3 Delete the area from the plan view using any of the following methods:
■ Press DELETE or CTRL+X .
■ Right-click the area, and click Delete.
