hi, i'm just beginning a gross building analysis and I have many voids in my building-  some are double-triple height occupant spaces some are mechanical shafts. In any case I thought there might be a trick to getting my gross calculation to excluide these from its summary - is there?

So many questions....

1. Are you using Rooms?
2. or are you using Areas - Area Plans?
3. If using rooms, how did you create the holes? 
4. Did you add room seperation lines around the hole?
5. On area plans, did you sketch them and add the holes?
