A room pack: A room pack is chosen in Make a document, the Family bathroom is ticked, and Make the room pack shows its progress.

Steps

  1. In the Documents workspace choose Make a document, then A room pack.
  2. Under Rooms, choose Clear, then tick the rooms you want, such as the Family bathroom. Find a room filters a long list; Rooms that change picks the ones the proposal touches.
    The Room pack dialog with the Family bathroom ticked from the list of Showroom rooms, its outline shown under the list, and Sheet size A3.
  3. Choose the Sheet size. Open Pages to choose which pages go in and whether you also want a ZIP of the pictures.
  4. Choose Make the room pack. Progress shows as it draws the walls and renders the views inside; then the PDF (and the ZIP) download.
  5. To make the same pack again later, choose Save these settings as… before you close the dialog.

Tips

  • When rooms are marked new or coming out, Show offers Before, After or Both, side by side from the same camera.
  • Room packs are a good brief for a tiler, cabinet maker or plumber: one PDF with every wall of their rooms.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving the rooms from last time ticked: the pack remembers them, so Clear first.
  • Closing the tab while it renders: the views inside take a minute on a slower computer. Wait for the download.
