# Add Additional Rooms

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

This allows the app to position each room correctly within the overall property layout.

Watch the video below to learn how to add and connect additional rooms, choose the most suitable connection method, and continue measuring into the new room.

### Start Adding a Room

There are three ways to start adding another room to your floor plan.

**From a door**

Tap the **door** you want to connect through, then tap **Add Room**.

**Using the green + button**

Tap the green **+** button, then tap **Room**. Available connecting doors will flash blue. Tap the **flashing blue door** you want to connect through.

**From Rooms**

Tap **Rooms**, then **Add Room**. Available connecting doors will flash blue. Tap the **flashing blue door** you want to connect through.

Whichever option you choose, the app will guide you through selecting a connection method.

***

### Choose a Connection Method

There are three connection methods available:

* **Wall Thickness — Recommended**
* **Jamb-to-Jamb**
* **Edge-to-Edge**

Use the arrows in the app to view each method, or tap **Learn More** to watch a short video demonstration.

***

### Wall Thickness — Recommended

We recommend using the **Wall Thickness** method whenever you can place LX1 on the wall beside the doorway.

This method uses three pause points:

1. Place LX1 flat against the wall beside the doorway and wait for the pause point to be confirmed.
2. Move to the door jamb and capture the second pause point.
3. Move through the doorway and place LX1 flat against the wall inside the new room to capture the third pause point.

As well as connecting the rooms, this method captures the actual wall thickness and provides the most accurate alignment between connected rooms.

For the first placement, position LX1 on the wall **close to the doorway** to help accurately establish the position of the connecting door.

***

### Jamb-to-Jamb

If there isn't enough accessible wall beside the doorway to use **Wall Thickness**, you can use **Jamb-to-Jamb** instead.

This method uses two pause points:

1. Place LX1 against the door jamb on the side of the room you've just measured and wait for the pause point to be confirmed.
2. Move through the doorway and place LX1 against the opposite door jamb to capture the second pause point.

Keep your movement smooth and controlled as you move through the doorway.

This method connects the rooms using the position of the two door jambs, but does not capture the actual wall thickness.

***

### Edge-to-Edge

If the door jambs are difficult to access, use **Edge-to-Edge**.

This method uses two pause points:

1. Place the active reference point of LX1 against the first edge of the doorway and wait for the pause point to be confirmed.
2. Move across the doorway to the opposite edge, switching the reference point while moving if required, then place the active reference point against the second edge and wait for the pause point to be confirmed.

Once both doorway edges have been captured, move through the doorway and place LX1 flat against the wall inside the new room. **This becomes the starting wall for your new room measurement.**

This method connects the rooms using the two doorway edges, but does not capture the actual wall thickness.

***

### Continue Measuring the New Room

Once the connection is complete, the final wall placement becomes the **starting wall for the new room**.

Continue measuring around the room as normal, capturing each wall and any doors, windows, stairs or wardrobes / closets as you reach them.

When you reach the connecting doorway again, simply walk past it and continue to the next wall. The doorway has already been captured when measuring the previous room.

Continue until you return to the **same wall plane where you started the room measurement**.

Once the room is complete, repeat the process through another connecting door to continue building your floor plan.

***

### Remember

* Use **Wall Thickness** whenever possible.
* Choose the connection method that best suits the doorway and the surfaces you can access.
* Follow the placement order shown in the app.
* Keep LX1 completely still until each pause point is confirmed.
* Keep your movement smooth and controlled between pause points.
* The final wall placement becomes the starting wall for the new room.
* Don't measure the connecting doorway again.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.moasure.com/en/moasure-lx1/measure-with-moasure-lx1/add-additional-rooms.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
