I want to add the perimeter in so it checks the perimeter of each floor. but when I do it calculates the perimeter value for the loops a and b instead of just the space on b b

floors=input('Please enter the number of floors in this building: '); while floors<1; disp(err); floors=input('Please enter the number of floors: '); end for a=1:1:floors spaces(a)=input(['Enter number of spaces on floor ',num2str(a),': ']); for b=1:1:spaces(a)

           width(a,b)=input(['Please enter width of space ',num2str(b),' on floor ',num2str(a),': ']);
           height(a,b)=input(['Please enter height of space ',num2str(b),' on floor ',num2str(a),': ']);
           depth(a,b)=input(['Please enter depth of space ',num2str(b),' on floor ',num2str(a),': ']);
         residentialRoom=questdlg('Is this space residential?', 'Residential?','Yes','No','No');
        switch residentialRoom
            case 'Yes'
            residential=residential+1;
            otherwise 
            officeRoom=questdlg('Is this space an office?', 'Office?','Yes','No','No');
            switch officeRoom
                case 'Yes'
                office=office+1;
                otherwise
                educationRoom=questdlg('Is this space a educational?', 'Education?','Yes','No','No');
                switch educationRoom
                    case 'Yes'
                    education=education+1;
                    otherwise
                    toiletRoom=questdlg('Is this space a toilet?', 'Toilet?','Yes','No','No');
                    switch toiletRoom
                        case 'Yes'
                        toilet=toilet+1;
                        otherwise
                        storage=storage+1;
                    end
                end
            end
        end

       X(a,b)=input(['Please enter x coordinate of space ',num2str(b),' on floor ',num2str(a),': ']);
           Y(a,b)=input(['Please enter y coordinate of space ',num2str(b),' on floor ',num2str(a),': ']);

      end
                    end

        while spaces<=0
            disp(err)
            spaces(a)=input(['Enter number of spaces on floor ',num2str(a),': ']);
        end
               for b=1:1:spaces
            rectangle('Position',[X(a,b),Y(a,b),width(a,b),depth(a,b)]);

If you want to calculate the perimeter for each space on each floor, you can add the perimeter calculation inside the nested loop for 'b'.

floors = input('Please enter the number of floors in this building: ');
err = 'Invalid input. Please enter a positive integer.';
while floors < 1
    disp(err);
    floors = input('Please enter the number of floors: ');
end

residential = 0;
office = 0;
education = 0;
toilet = 0;
storage = 0;

figure;
hold on;

for a = 1:1:floors
    spaces(a) = input(['Enter number of spaces on floor ', num2str(a), ': ']);
    for b = 1:1:spaces(a)
        width(a, b) = input(['Please enter width of space ', num2str(b), ' on floor ', num2str(a), ': ']);
        height(a, b) = input(['Please enter height of space ', num2str(b), ' on floor ', num2str(a), ': ']);
        depth(a, b) = input(['Please enter depth of space ', num2str(b), ' on floor ', num2str(a), ': ']);
        perimeter(a, b) = 2 * (width(a, b) + depth(a, b));

        % Your room type calculations...
        % ...

        X(a, b) = input(['Please enter x coordinate of space ', num2str(b), ' on floor ', num2str(a), ': ']);
        Y(a, b) = input(['Please enter y coordinate of space ', num2str(b), ' on floor ', num2str(a), ': ']);
    end
end

% Plot rectangles
for a = 1:1:floors
    for b = 1:1:spaces(a)
        rectangle('Position', [X(a, b), Y(a, b), width(a, b), depth(a, b)]);
    end
end

hold off;
save('floorplan.mat');
load("floorplan.mat");

When I put in the perimeter it didn't show up in the command window

[LeoAiE]

I assume that you want to calculate the perimeter of each space and display it in the command window.

floors = input('Please enter the number of floors in this building: ');
while floors < 1
    disp(err);
    floors = input('Please enter the number of floors: ');
end

for a = 1:1:floors
    spaces(a) = input(['Enter number of spaces on floor ', num2str(a), ': ']);
    for b = 1:1:spaces(a)
        width(a, b) = input(['Please enter width of space ', num2str(b), ' on floor ', num2str(a), ': ']);
        height(a, b) = input(['Please enter height of space ', num2str(b), ' on floor ', num2str(a), ': ']);
        depth(a, b) = input(['Please enter depth of space ', num2str(b), ' on floor ', num2str(a), ': ']);

        % Calculate perimeter
        perimeter(a, b) = 2 * (width(a, b) + depth(a, b));

        % Display perimeter
        fprintf('Perimeter of space %d on floor %d: %.2f\n', b, a, perimeter(a, b));

        % Your other code for residential, office, etc. goes here

        X(a, b) = input(['Please enter x coordinate of space ', num2str(b), ' on floor ', num2str(a), ': ']);
        Y(a, b) = input(['Please enter y coordinate of space ', num2str(b), ' on floor ', num2str(a), ': ']);
    end
end

ah ok I see thank you so much
