How to calculate floor area from a PDF plan
Open the PDF on your phone, enter the plan scale from the title block (most residential plans are 1:100), pick the Floor tool, and tap around the room outline. Easy Measure closes the polygon and shows the area in square metres. Repeat for each room, or use Subtract to remove cut-outs from the total.
