ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention allow users to generate and maintain space objects in a computer-aided design model representing regions bounded by a set of drawing elements included in the model. The space object contains the geometry of such a bounded region and may be used to calculate values such as area and volume associated with the region. Additionally, each space object may be associated with the set of drawing elements bounding the region represented by the space object such that any changes to one of the associated bounding elements causes the geometry of the space object to be updated automatically to reflect these changes. Areas and volumes calculated from the space object geometry may conform to established standards regarding the calculation of gross, net and useable areas of a building or other structure.
