Property Layout

This menu option allows you to reconfigure the Floorplan that was created during the first-time setup wizard. New Floors and rooms can be created, and existing Floors and rooms can be renamed, moved and even deleted.

The Property Layout Info Panel

In order to make any changes to the Floorplan, go to Edit | Property Layout.

The property's building name, location and region can all be edited directly in the Info Panel, which can be found on the left-hand side of the screen.

The Info Panel allows you to choose the floor on which you would like to work, via the Choose Level dropdown menu.

Choosing a floor will show a representation of that floor's rooms in the main grid.

Creating A Room

All new rooms 'float' on top of the other rooms on the Floor. Create the largest room on the Floor first. Create the smallest room on the Floor last.

To create a new room, do the following:

  1. Choose the Floor on which the new room will be defined, using the Choose Level dropdown menu.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. Select a room name from the Choose Room dropdown menu.
  4. Click Add Room.

A new room will appear in the main grid, and can now be renamed, moved, resized or deleted.

Renaming, Moving, Resizing And Deleting A Room

To rename, move, resize or delete a room, do the following:

  1. Choose the Floor on which the target room has been defined, using the Choose Level dropdown menu.
  2. Click Edit.

Each room on the Floor will now display a circular drag handle and an 'x' in the top-left corner.
