Hey all, we are planning on building an ADU (Alternate Dwelling Unit) which can not exceed 1000 square feet.  I am totally new to this but seem to be catching on pretty quickly much to my surprise, my question is: "how or can I put in 1000 square feet and get the exterior measurement so I can have something to work within?"  Hope that makes sense.  Thank you!

You can draw the exterior walls so it encloses the 1,000 sf. Maybe 25' x 40' as simple math to start? Not sure what you mean by "how or can I put in 1000 square feet and get the exterior measurement so I can have something to work within?"

Another thing that will help is to put in your signature the version of Home Designer you are using and the year. I am pretty sure "Solver" will post his usual list of items to help you.
