How to divide a room without a wall

WherePlan tabthe button with a dashed line between two walls in the lower right corner of the plan

Needed when there is no wall but there are two rooms: a kitchen-living room, a niche, a hallway without a door. Each part will have its own area, its own name and its own floor and wall finish.

Steps

  1. Click the Room boundary button.
  2. Click on the wall where the boundary starts. The point snaps to the wall axis, to its corner or to the end of another boundary: snapping is shown by a circle or a small square.
  3. Click on the wall where the boundary ends.
  4. The room is divided. The tool stays on: you can immediately place the next boundary.

Good to know

  • On the plan the boundary is drawn as a thin dashed line. It does not exist in 3D, and furniture can be placed across it freely.
  • For the room to be divided, both ends must lie on walls or on other boundaries. A boundary hanging in the air divides nothing.
  • The name and finish of the original room go to the part that is more similar to it in its corners. For the second part they are set anew.
  • Outside the Plan tab boundaries cannot be selected or placed.
