Quick Rooms are predefined room shapes in specific sizes. When you click on the Quick Room button, a gallery of Quick Rooms appears that you can select from. Once a Quick Room is selected, you can then place it on your floor plan.
You may add your own Quick Rooms to the Gallery and manage the existing Quick Rooms.
Note: Quick Room libraries are saved as a User Setting so they will be available for any estimate you are working on under your username.
