Space Planning tools

Use the Spaces tools for space planning activities. A Space is an area in a model that is defined by an enclosure such as a shape, and is identified by a name and/or number. Spaces identify areas in a model such as offices, closets, and storage areas. They can overlap to contain an area of multiple spaces.
