This makes it easier to edit the interior.

In other design software, you would have to create manual layers to achieve this. In the designer it's all automatic so it saves a whole heap of time.

Disable Interior Objects

tip

This features is excellent to improve your workflow in a variety of scenarios:

  • Place Electrical Items - When all the cabinetry and furniture is active, it can often get in the way when you're trying to place electrical items. Disabling the furniture items allows you to move freely without any obstructions and place sockets behind appliances.

  • Confined Spaces - In confined spaces such as the bathroom, where objects tend to get in the way, disabling interior items can be a lifesaver.

  • Refine the Shell & Wall Placement - If you're refining your shell and wall placement, disabling interior objects will enable you to select and move the walls, doors, and windows without worrying about hovering over other objects.
