Space syntax theory does numerical calculation based on the connection of each unit of the total space. In this process, a plane should be divided into unit spaces. When space syntax theory is used to analysis the inside space complex of a building, the total space is redrawn as a convex plane. It means every unit spaces should be divided as a convex if it is a concave one. Therefore, the way of convex plan drawing induces variant syntactic analysis. There are some kinds of convex drawing methods, and the most popular one is the short line division. These concepts have some restriction in the process of redrawing unit spaces, such as lacking basis of dividing space. What is more, the process is physical and artificial. This paper tries to import the theory of enclosing balance in the process of dividing space so that some perceptual and psychological clues are annexed to the process.
