Adding a floor in a room planner app typically involves using a floor management feature within the application's interface. While the specific steps can vary slightly depending on the app, the general process often includes accessing a section dedicated to managing different levels or floors of your project.
Based on the referenced video snippet about the Room Planner App, managing floors, including adding new ones, is a core function. The video transcript mentions actions like deleting unused floors, renaming floors (e.g., "first floor" to "basement," "second floor" to "first floor"), and states that after such organization, "now we can also add our second floor." This indicates the app provides tools to handle multiple levels and create new ones as needed.
Understanding Floor Management
Many room planner apps allow you to work with multiple floor levels simultaneously. This enables you to design multi-story buildings, including basements, ground floors, and upper levels. Effective floor management often involves:
- Renaming: Clearly labeling each floor (e.g., Basement, Ground Floor, Second Floor).
- Deleting: Removing unnecessary or placeholder floors.
- Adding: Creating a new floor level for your design.
The referenced video snippet highlights the importance of the first two points (renaming and deleting) as preparation before adding a new floor.
Steps to Add a Floor (General Guide)
While the exact button or menu might differ, here's a typical approach to adding a floor in a room planner app, informed by the reference:
- Locate Floor Management: Look for an option or icon usually labeled "Floors," "Levels," or potentially a multi-story building icon. This is often found in a sidebar, a top menu, or a dedicated project settings area.
- Access Floor List: Tapping or clicking this option will likely display a list of your current floors (e.g., Floor 1, Floor 2).
- Find the "Add Floor" Option: Within this floor list interface, look for a button or icon to add a new floor. This is commonly represented by a "+" symbol, a button labeled "Add Floor," or similar.
- Add the New Level: Click or tap the "Add Floor" option. The app will then create a new floor level, often added above the highest existing floor.
- Rename and Configure (Optional but Recommended): Once the new floor is added, you can typically rename it (e.g., "Second Floor") and begin designing on that level. You may also find options here to adjust ceiling height or other level-specific properties.
The referenced video confirms the capability to add a "second floor" after organizing existing levels by renaming and deleting. This implies that such an "Add Floor" function is readily available within the app's interface once initial floor setup is complete.
Example Floor Layers Table
Understanding how floors stack can be helpful.
| Level Name | Common Function |
|---|---|
| Third Floor | Upper Living Space |
| Second Floor | Upper Living Space |
| First Floor | Main Living Area |
| Ground Floor | Main Entrance/Living |
| Basement | Utility/Living/Store |
Note: "First Floor" and "Ground Floor" terminology can vary by region.
By following these steps and exploring the floor management section of your specific room planner application, you should be able to add new levels to expand your design project. Remember to check the app's specific documentation or interface for the precise location of the "Add Floor" function.
