Delineate Rooms (Room menu)

Choosing this option toggles the room delineation mode on or off.

The room delineation mode allows you to create rooms with right angles inside existing map shapes. This mode is for use in the map view.

While in this mode, left-clicking with the mouse creates a red rectangle that completely or partially fills the room space.

If the rectangle does not completely fill the space, you can grab edges and drag them to fill the space.

Also, as in previous versions of VSP, you can create several red rectangles to fill up the space inside an irregular shaped room on the map. However, with the new ability to drag edges to fill up the space, this old method of filling the space is no longer the recommended method.

After the room is filled with red rectangles, Right-Click with the mouse to combine all the adjoining rectangles into a room. If there are disjoint red rectangles, each group of red rectangles becomes a separate room.

If the desired room is a simple rectangle, right-click with the mouse to create the rectangle and convert it to a room in a single step.

If the map has a label inside the room space, VSP will pick up the label and use it as the name of the newly created room.
