To merge two rooms into one room

  1. Click the Merge icon.

    The Merge rooms tool settings appear.

    Note: The New name text field is disabled.

  2. Select the first room/plenum that you want to merge.
  3. (Optional) Attempt to select a room/plenum that is not adjacent to the first one you selected.

    Merge rooms will not accept the disconnected room/plenum.

  4. Select another room/plenum that is adjacent to the first room/plenum that you selected.

    The New name text field is now enabled, and a default name is provided; [room/plenum name 1] + [room/plenum name 2].

  5. Enter a name for the new (merged) room/plenum. Reset to complete merging.

    The partition between the rooms/plenums is removed. Room components (Ventilation, Gains, Lighting components) are also combined into one object in the room/plenum hierarchy.
