If you place a room inside bounding elements, it expands to the element boundaries. You can also place a
room in a free space or one that is not entirely bounded, and then draw room-bounding elements around
the room later. When you add bounding elements, the room expands to the boundaries. See
on page 915.

Selecting a Room

You can select rooms in plan views and section views. Select a room to check its boundaries, change its
properties, remove it from the model, or move it to another location.
To select a room, move the cursor over the room until its reference lines display, and click. You can also
place the cursor over the room perimeter, press TAB to cycle through choices until the reference lines display,
and then click.

Move a selected room by dragging it using the move control. If the room has a tag, move the tag with the

before moving the room, and then tag the room in its new location.
