One room, even when nine detail sets all draw it

A room the overall plan shows and a detail sheet redraws is one room now — so you stop being asked to choose between two pictures of your kitchen, and the "add any of these?" list stops showing everything twice.

One room, even when nine detail sets all draw it

Some builders send you one overall plan plus a separate CAD set for every room — kitchen, primary suite, guest suite, pool bath, laundry, one file each. Every one of those sets draws a room the overall plan already showed.

BidCraft was counting those as two rooms. The overall plan prints KITCHEN 102; the kitchen set draws the same kitchen on a sheet with no text on it at all, so the reader named it from the drawing. Two entries, one kitchen. Then you got asked "Which room is KITCHEN on the plans?" — with two thumbnails of the same kitchen to choose between. There is no right answer to that question.

Now a room a detail sheet redraws folds into the room the overall plan already showed. On a recent eleven-file package that took the plan rooms from 114 down to 93, the "which room is this?" checks from eleven down to four, and the add any of these rooms? list from 94 entries down to 70.

The four checks left over are real ones. That house has a kitchen, a back kitchen, a cabana kitchen and an outdoor kitchen, and three upstairs baths — those are genuine questions about genuinely different rooms, and you're the one who knows the answer.

What it will never fold together

  • Two rooms the architect numbered separately. Kitchen 102 is not Kitchen 134. A printed number is the architect saying these are two rooms.
  • Bath 2 and Bath 3. The number in a room's name is part of its name.
  • Two of the same label on one sheet. Two closets drawn on one page are two closets — that sheet drew them both.
  • A room on each floor. A laundry upstairs and a laundry downstairs stay two laundries.
  • A second building. The casita's powder room is not the main house's powder room.

Bath 2, Bath 3 and Bath 4

Related fix on the same package. When a plan labels a room BATH 3, that 3 is the room's name, not a room number — and BidCraft was cutting it off, which left three upstairs baths all labelled plain BATH. Against three identical labels there was nothing to match the schedule's Bath 3 to. The number stays with the name now, so each one binds to its own room.

It fixes a nastier one too: P. BATH 1 is the primary bath. Cut the 1 off and it reads as P. BATH — the pool bath, a different room in a different part of the house.

Your existing projects

Rooms already read stay as they are. To pick this up on a job you've already analysed, re-analyse the plans — or start a fresh project from the same files and the rooms come in clean.
