With time being in such short supply I decided to offer up another tip to help you get quicker. Lots of our users spend a lot of time preparing a room in too much detail for initial drafts. There is plenty of time to be saved by using the room configurator and changing it's standard settings, especially if you often find yourself using the same floor/wall coverings.
First open the room configurator, either from the start menu or the insert tab. A new window will pop up with a number of editable options. Another useful tip to remember is that it will retain the setting used last time.
Select "Room properties..." to set new default material coverings.
This will open another window where you can change a number of options. By clicking on the materials you can choose an alternative from your catalogues. Also recommended is to create and hide the ceiling as it offers a much better overview when planning. In case you wish to change back the materials to program defaults simply do the same as before and select it, as seen in the picture below.
After finishing the configurator the options you selected will be implemented as well as saved for future designs. Now you just have to worry about choosing the furniture and create some impressive visual proposals.
Enough time saved to treat myself to a cup of coffee. Make sure to check back next month for another awesome tip. Until then, and as always, have fun with it!
