Checking the area of a real space

A listing that says 120 m² may count walls, balconies, and storage differently from how you would measure it. With a floor plan, MeasureFloorPlan traces the actual outline once you set the scale from one known wall, in meters or feet, so you get the real number instead of the rounded one.
