Rooms

You can create rooms using the Room tool or by placing them from a room schedule. To add rooms to a
schedule, click New on the Options Bar. This is helpful when creating an early design, before defining walls
or other bounding elements in a project. Then you can place the predefined rooms in the project.
You can create rooms only in plan views and schedule views.
