Chief Architect Room Planner

To place a Square , L shaped , or T shaped room, tap and drag into the drawing.

A room can also be created by sketching the individual walls that enclose it:

Tap the Room Sketch tool, then drag to draw a wall. Continue drawing walls until an enclosed area is created, then tap the Apply button.
Tap the Room Sketch tool, then drag to draw one or more walls across an existing room. When an area within the room is completely enclosed by sketched walls, tap the Apply button.

Note: A sketched wall must connect to another wall at each end: it cannot be free-standing or have one end free.

EDITING ROOMS

Once a room has been placed or sketched, it can be moved, rotated, or reshaped.

To move a room, tap once on an empty space in its interior to select it, then drag it to a new location.
To rotate a room, tap to select it and drag its Rotate handle in 7.5° or 15° increments.
A room can be resized and reshaped by editing any of its Walls.

MERGING AND OVERLAPPING ROOMS

When two rooms are bumped together, their adjacent walls merge. If two rooms are touching and one of them is pulled away from the other, their common walls split into separate walls again.
To merge two rooms, select one of them and click the Merge Rooms button. Then select a second, adjacent room and tap the Apply button to completely remove the walls between them and combine the two rooms into one. Rooms must share at least one common wall in order to merge.
To overlap rooms, select a room and drag it until it overlaps another room, then press the Intersect Rooms button. A third room is created where the first two intersect.

ROOM LABELS AND DIMENSIONS

Each room can be given a name of your choosing. To name a room, tap and hold the room’s label for a few seconds to display the keypad. A room's Name can also be set in the Room Specification dialog: tap the Information button. You can choose whether to display the room's area along with its name there, as well.
If you prefer, you can turn off the display of Room Labels entirely by tapping the Settings button.
When a room is selected, dimension numbers show the length of each wall. These dimensions can be moved by dragging, and you can choose to use centimeters, meters, inches, or feet by tapping the Settings button. If you prefer, you can turn these dimensions off in Settings, as well.
You can also draw your own Dimension Lines wherever you wish.
