Polylines are derived from lines and arcs.

BOMA Standards
BOMA = Building Office Managers Association
The purpose of BOMA standards is to assign spaces in a way that all owners and lessors can agree on the area that is being used. BOMA is concerned about relationships between owners and renters. This means that these standards don't account for areas within a rented space. That is to say, BOMA doesn't care how you polyline a cubicle or a desk. There are other standards that are less concerned about exact measurements that are worth knowing about:
NBSAP = National Business Space Assignment Policy from the GSA (General Services Administration)
Used by government. This is concerned with how space is defined on a much more granular level than BOMA. But less concerned with exact measurements of space.
FICM = Facilities Inventory and Classification Manual
Used by Education. This is similar to the NBSAP, in that it focuses on Space.
Categories and Types
The area measuring standards allow you to be confident about the space that you occupy.
- It gives you the ability to negotiate with your renters or the landlord according to facts rather than estimations.
- It allows you to report consistently on space categories, types, uses, and standards.
