ChiefuserLarkin Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Ok so this is a tad confusing, obviously HD Pro and Chief give you a square footage. When it comes to the stairwell I don't include that since I found out the basement living includes the footage of the stairwell. So, what do most of you do, do the polyline sq. footage or use the programs? Does Chief use the "exterior" dimensions to get it's sq. footage? I've noticed on some instances the two numbers are way off. Thanks Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst777 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 In Home Designer, "Living Area" is not the same as "Square Footage" - check out this article.KB-00309: Calculating Living Area and Square Footage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefuserLarkin Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Yes I knew that but with as advanced as the program is a person still has to draw a polyline, break it many times to figure out the square footage! Should be a way simpler way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefuserLarkin Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 The footage should be closer if this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
