# Creating rooms

To create new rooms, open up the RoomBox library and place your cursor over the desired room type.

Two actions will be available: "**Create new**" and "**Assign to selection**" (the latter only appears if one or several existing rooms are already selected in SketchUp).

### Create new

Click the "Create New" button to start the room creation tool in SketchUp. Then, click on a free spot or a vertical surface to create the room at the desired position.

### Assign to selection

It's also possible to change the type of a room after it has been created.

To do so, select one or multiple existing rooms in SketchUp and then click the "Assign to Selection" button.

If multiple rooms are selected, they will all be assigned the new room type.
