Grouping Rooms

When several rooms share the same product, add-ons, or other common properties, it can be helpful to assign them to a group. If changes need to be made to those rooms, they can all be selected from the Explorer window's "Group" view with a single click. Additionally, rooms belonging to the same group can move together on the floor plan, be deleted together, and the software can allocate their cuts from the same section of a roll.

2.  Left-click a group name and all rooms within it will be selected.

Note:

Selecting a group name and pressing the Delete key will delete the group, but it will not erase the rooms that belonged to the group. Those rooms will simply be placed back under the "none" heading.
