Add Additional Rooms

When measuring multiple rooms, each new room is connected to the existing floor plan through a doorway.

This ensures the new room aligns correctly with the current layout.

Watch this short walkthrough to see how room connections work before starting. The tutorial explains doorway connection methods, placement order and how to align additional rooms correctly.

Start Adding a Room

To add a new room:

  1. Tap Rooms in the bottom navigation

  2. Select Add Room

  3. Doors that can be used to connect a room will display a flashing circle

  4. Tap the door you want to connect through

  5. Tap Start, then Confirm

The app will guide you through the setup.


Choose a Method

Before placing the device, select how you want to measure across the doorway.

Use this when you can place on the wall either side of the door.

  • Measures the actual wall thickness

  • Provides the most accurate alignment


Jamb-to-Jamb Method

Use when space either side of the door is limited.

  • Measures between the inner door frames

  • Does not capture wall thickness


Edge-to-Edge Method

Use when neither of the above methods are possible.

  • Measures accessible edges only

  • Used as a fallback option


Pause Point Placements

Follow the placement order shown in the app.

Placement 1: Existing Room Wall

Place LX1 against the wall next to the selected door in the room you have already measured. Hold still until the pause point is confirmed.


Pause Point 2: Doorway

Place LX1 according to your selected method:

  • Wall Thickness → place on the door jamb

  • Jamb-to-Jamb → place on the opposite jamb

  • Edge-to-Edge → place on the opposite edge

Hold still until the pause point is confirmed.


Pause Point 3: New Room Starting Wall

Move into the new room and place LX1 on the wall shown in the app.

Choose a clear, repeatable position on the wall, such as near a socket, switch or wall edge.

Align the active reference point with the wall surface and hold still until the pause point is confirmed.


Continue Measuring

Once the third pause point is confirmed, the new room is added to your floor plan.

You can now measure the room as normal:

  • Move between walls

  • Confirm each pause point

  • Capture features as needed

For best results, finish the room by returning to the same wall plane where you started.

There is no need to measure the connecting doorway again, as it has already been captured during the room connection process.


Important

  • Always follow the placement order shown in the app

  • Do not begin measuring until all placements are complete

  • The doorway is already captured during this process — you do not need to measure it again
