One room, one card — even when every sheet calls it something different

Laundry on the plan, Laundry Room on the elevations and LAUNDRY on the spec sheet are now one room card, with the tile and the sizes together on it.

One room, one card — even when every sheet calls it something different

A designer's package describes one house in three vocabularies. The floor plan labels a room Laundry. The room's own elevation sheets are titled Laundry Room. The spec sheet files its tile under LAUNDRY. One sheet says Guest bath, the next says Guest Suite Bathroom; one says Master, the next Primary.

Biddy used to match a room to a card only when the names were the same, letter for letter. So a fifteen-room job came back with twenty-six cards — and the worst part wasn't the clutter. The tile off the spec sheet landed on one twin and the sizes read off the elevations landed on the other, so neither card had what it takes to price the room.

Now the same room is recognised under the names different sheets give it. Laundry and Laundry Room. Powder, Powder Room and Powder Bath. Master Bath and Primary Bathroom. Guest Suite Bathroom and Guest bath. A set of elevations titled Primary Bath & Closet lands on the primary bath, because that's whose tile it draws. The card keeps the name it already had — nothing gets renamed under you — and a name you typed yourself is still yours.

It doesn't guess. It only joins a room to a card when exactly one card fits.

  • Bath 2 is never Bath 3, and Kitchen is never Back Kitchen.
  • A line two rooms share — Laundry & Mudroom — isn't the laundry and isn't the mudroom.
  • Two rooms the plans number separately are two rooms, however alike their names are.
  • When you add a room from the plans yourself, you get the room you tapped — not a card that happens to sound like it.

When it isn't sure you get two cards, and deleting one takes a second. One room's tile on another room's walls is the mistake that's hard to see, so that's the one it avoids.

The same spec sheet, read more carefully

Three smaller things from the same job:

  • More of the one-column sheets come apart properly. Some rows of a Location sheet arrive with the whole place in one cell and only a caption — Stacked, Trim — where the surface belongs. Once a sheet has shown that's how it's laid out, those rows are split like the rest: Primary Bedroom Fireplace is the Primary Bedroom's fireplace, not a room of its own, and the caption stays with the tile.
  • Typos on the sheet don't cost you a surface. Tile wianscot is a wainscot. Trim egde is a trim edge.
  • A list of rooms that points at another drawing isn't a room. Kitchen, Office, Office Closet – see flooring plan for locations now comes to you as a question about which rooms it covers, instead of a card with that whole sentence for a name.

If your project already has doubles

Cards that were doubled up before today stay as they are — Biddy won't merge two cards that each have something on them. Delete the spare, or start a fresh project from the same files and the rooms will come in clean.
