INVISIBLE WALLS |

1) An invisible wall can be used to draw a distinction between two rooms that are not separated by a solid wall. This allows the program to handle the properties of each room separately. If no wall existed, then both rooms would have to share the same colors, ceiling structure, floor height, etc. You can see here that the family room can be selected (red line surrounding it) without affecting the living room. |

3) Yet, when viewed in 3D according to the camera angle depicted in the plan view, no walls are visible in picture 2. Would you like to create a walkway in an existing room that has a different floor covering than the rest of the room? (Marble on Carpet) See the next photo.

5) One way to create this effect is by making a room within a room. You then change the floor covering of the "walkway" room to be the color and material of your choosing and the walls to be invisible. This will cause the main room to be split in two if the walkway runs from one side to the other. | ![]() |
7) Extended Soffit Overhangs, such as those found over porches, can be created by placing an invisible wall on the outside perimeter of the home. This causes the roof builder to follow the outside wall. (the invisible one) The next picture shows how the invisible wall (double dotted line) causes the roof overhang seen in the previous picture. |

9) Look closely at the previous picture and you will see the roof's facia line follows the invisible wall, leaving a uniform roof overhang around the entire house, but appearing to leave an extended overhang over the porch, as seen in the Birds Eye View. (from beneath) |
