Using the Select and Link Polygon function, assign a room polygon in the floor plan to the selected floor/room. The new label is then placed in the floor plan.

Using the Construct and Link Polygon function, you can create a new polygon for the selected room and link it. Here, too, the new room label is then placed in the floor plan.

Using the Update Areas and Labels function, you can update the labels for the selected room.

Use the "Break Link" function to break the connection between the eTASK and the CAD room. The rooms remain intact; only the connection between them is broken.

Instructions: Manually linking floor polygons

First, check the drawing settings

whether the link layer of the floor level matches the layer on which your floor polygon is located, and whether the floor polygon corresponds to the set AutoCAD object type (polyline, region, or Architecture).

If you haven’t already, open the Room Book palette and navigate to the newly created floor that you want to link.

Now select the previously set label "Base" from the drop-down menu.

Next, use the

Link button in the Room Book palette, and click on the floor polygon on the floor layer using the selection tool.

Now place the "Base" label, and draw the leader line if desired. The leader line can be canceled with ESC or ENTER.

Alternatively, if no floor polygon exists in the drawing yet, you can create a new polyline using the

Draw and Link Polygon function. Placing the label works in the same way. The building structure node is now represented by a c symbol, which indicates the link. No plan is displayed in eTASK yet. This requires SVG publication.
