# Place Floor by Room

**Place Floor by Room** allows you to automatically generate floors by existing rooms in the project. You do not need to draw every floor manually by picking walls or drawing floor boundaries. The function saves vast amounts of time especially when working on larger projects. Floors and floor types can be modified/updated or removed entirely.

1. Place all your rooms in the project.
2. Select **Place Floor by Room** in **Floor Panel Layout** menu.

3. Select **Floor Placement Configurations** in **Place/Modify Panels by Rooms** menu.
