Setting up the room
Last updated: · By: the moducut team
In moducut, the room is the workspace that defines the walls, floor and openings where modules are placed; its dimensions are entered when you open a new project, and details are changed in the Room Editing window. This page explains setting the room’s size, floor, doors and windows.
Short answer
The Room Editing window
The window has three tabs at the top: Room, Door / Window and Column / Beam. Changes are applied to the room as you type and can be undone; Save closes the window. If a column or door is selected in the room when you open the window, its tab opens directly. Column and beam settings are explained on the Columns, beams and notching page.
Dimensions and floor shape
- Press Room Design › Room and open the Room tab.
- Type the dimensions in mm into the Width, Depth and Height fields.
- On the Floor row, choose Rectangle, L-shaped or Free polygon.
- For a free polygon, enter the corner positions one by one; you can add a new corner between two corners or delete a corner.
- On the Walls row, turn off the walls that are not in the room; for example, for an open kitchen you can leave only the back wall.
The W, D and H dimensions you entered when opening the new project are written into these fields; you change the size here later.
Color and floor pattern
On the Room tab you choose the Wall color and Floor color. The floor pattern can be Plain, Tile or Parquet. For tiles, you choose the tile size, the tile look and the grout color; for parquet, the plank width and laying pattern (Straight or Herringbone). These settings are for display only and do not go into the cut list; they make the room look close to real when presenting to the customer.
Adding doors and windows
- In the Room Editing window, go to the Door / Window tab.
- Press + Door or + Window. The new opening is placed in the middle of the first wall.
- On the Wall row, choose which wall the opening is on.
- In the Size and Position fields, type the width, height and its place on the wall.
- Choose the kind of opening on the Type row and its look on the Surface row; for a window, set the Sill.
- Press Save.
If there are several doors or windows, each is listed in its own section with a name such as "Door 1" or "Window 2".
