You don't even have to use the macro management tool. Just put: %area.round(2)% In a text box and point it to a closed polyline. The advantage of the Text Macro Management tool is you can abbreviate your command string to keep things cleaner in the text box.
In terms of the room dimensions or something else? I Don't think we can adjust the room dimensions, but you can add info to the room label itself. Trying to think what you'd want to add to that.
Just for fun, Here is one I've used. Rounded Room Ceiling Height %((room.ceiling_elevation-room.floor_elevation)/12).round(0)% That can all be done without the Text Macro Management tool.
Being new at Chief and knowing next to nothing about macros, that was very informative. Had no idea you could do things like this with the macros
Glad it was helpful!

True. You don’t have to put that in the macro manager.
Thanks Tim. When you do a video like this, could you put the macros in the comments for a simple cut & paste (for us super lazy folks) 🙂
Noted!
Can you use this for room labels?

Isn’t there a macro already for ceiling height?
