update (and vice versa). But whereas deleting the room will delete the tag, the
opposite is not true. You can delete a room tag, and the room will remain. Tags
are simply 2D view-specific elements that attach to modeled objects, or, in this
case, the room object.
Because rooms do not represent physical objects, they have two unique
properties to help you visualize and select them. One is a reference — a pair of
invisible, crossing vectors that are usually near the middle of the space. You can
find these by moving your mouse pointer around in a space. The reference will
highlight when your mouse pointer is over one. The second unique property of
a room is an interior fill. You can make these properties visible in the Visibility/
Graphics settings for any view (Figure 8.2).

room Boundaries
Rooms will automatically fill an enclosed area and will always recalculate their
area when bounding objects are defined and adjusted. Elements such as walls,
floors, columns, and ceilings have a Room Bounding property that lets you
customize this behavior to suit your designs. You can find this property
in the Properties palette when you select one of the aforementioned model
elements.
