Sub-Rooms

Rosie Arkusinski Updated by Rosie Arkusinski

A sub-room is a subgroup of a room or a room within a room.

Sub-rooms are useful because anything that is applied to the parent room in which the sub-room is grouped is also applied to the sub-room. This makes the process of applying identical line items a much faster and more efficient process.

When there is a number inside of the parenthesis within a room's title, like Pantry (1), it is an indicator of a sub-room.

How to Add a Sub-Room in Studio

  1. In Studio, select a room and click on the Properties icon, or right-click on the room that is going to become a sub-room and select Properties.
  2. Click the 'Subgroup Of' dropdown in the General menu and select the name of the room that will be the parent room.
  3. Click anywhere outside of the window to exit and apply these changes.

Now, when hovering over the parent room, the sub-room(s) will be highlighted along with the parent room. You will also notice that the sub-room is no longer listed under the Estimate menu within the navigation bar on the left.

How to Separate a Sub-Room in Studio

  1. In Studio, right-click on the sub-room that is to be separated.
  2. Click Separate.
  3. Click Ok to confirm separation.

As you can see, the parenthesis with the number has disappeared indicating that the room is no longer a sub-room.
