Hi, I am trying to calculate the perimeter of various rooms in a house. I use the polyline tool to draw around the room and then select the list tool which shows me the polyline's length. However, it would be a lot more useful if i could find a way to select all polylines and then see what their total length is.. that way i wouldn't have to note down each room's perimeter and then add them in the calculator. But if i select all polylines and then hit the list tool, all it does is show me the lengths separately...

For instance, the area tool lets you add or subtract multiple areas... why can't there be a tool that lets you add or subtract multiple perimeters?

Thank you in advance for your assistance :)
