help drawing rooms

P

I'm trying to draw a home floorplan.

What is the correct way to combine two overlapping rooms together to make a
room with non-rectangular shape? When I use the shape-union, I ended up with
the union of the walls, and the dimensions disappeared (only the arrows
remain), and all walls lose their shading.

If I use the space shapes to draw the rooms, then shape operations works as
expected. However, once I convert the space to walls, there seems to be no
way to go back. Surely there must be a way to edit the rooms after
converting to walls.

using visio 2007 beta2, although something this basic probably works the
same in earlier versions

Hi Peter,

I believe that conversion to walls removes any notion of the room. However,
you should be able to drop in a new space shape that will stretch to fill
the region.
