Add Doors and Windows to Your Room

Doors and windows can be applied to walls from the directory or by drawing custom doors and windows from the Build menu. You'll need to decide which serves your purposes best. See Add Doors and Add Windows for more information.

Add Floor and Wall Coverings

See Apply Materials for information about applying tile, carpet and other textures onto floors and walls from the Directory.
