And in fact, there is. We can use the boundary command. But we have to first turn on the right layers to make this happen. The first thing I'll do is come over here to the layer properties manager, go to the 3D layers filter, and let's turn off these 3D layers. And that exposes the 2D layers underneath. And then I'll type 'layiso', Enter, and select the walls, Enter. Then I'll look at this in the top view. I'll zoom in here. And as it stands, we can't use the boundary command because there are big gaps in the walls here. I want to create a perimeter that traces the interior of all of these walls.
