Can you simultaneously show total and living area?

Can you simultaneously show total and living area?  I know how to include and exclude rooms, but it’s a pain to constantly have to do that.

 

Alternately, is it possible to reference object data fields in text boxes? For example, if a rich text label could display the area from a polyline, it could be used to simulate total area (you’d have to manually update the polyline, but at least the text box would be automatic). I feel like it would be good to see visual confirmation that you’re measuring what you intend to measure anyway, so maybe I’ll just switch to manual polylines to measure area if there’s no better way to do it.

I think you have already figured out how things are presently. You could make a "Feature Request" and get in on the already huge list. The tools exist to do as you wish now, though rather manual as you have already said. It seems that you wish it were easier to do like with a Dialog box type setting, well that is meat for a feature request.

Yep guess I will have to work around it for now.
