â–  Target dimensions: You can define a target area, length, and width for
spaces inserted with a specific style. This is helpful when you have upper
and lower space limits for a type of room that you want to insert.
â–  Displaying different space types: You can draw construction spaces,
demolition spaces, and traffic spaces with different display properties. For
example, you might draw all construction areas in green and hatched, and
the traffic areas in blue with a solid fill.
â–  Displaying different decomposition methods: You can specify how spaces
are decomposed (trapezoid or triangular). If you are not working with space
decomposition extensively, you will probably set it up in the drawing
default. For information about space decomposition, see Space
Decomposition on page 3135.
