We get a lot of valuable user feedback and suggestions to improve our product. By far the most requested feature was the ability to delete a wall. Although this sounds like a small thing to implement, it has caused us a lot of headaches to make this work because of the way spaces are automatically generated and calculated.

Good news! We think we finally nailed the bugger and have a found a working and simple solution to delete a wall. In this post we’ll briefly explain how it works and give some advice on how to use it to get the best results.

So how does it work?
Click on a wall for the properties menu, and in the upper right corner you find the delete icon. It will remove the selected wall and…

1. If this results in creating one big space the two connecting spaces merged together; keeping the settings of one of the two.
2. If this results in an open space it will remove also the space.
3. Did you delete a loose wall, it will have no consequences for the spaces

If you wish to have a floor even if the room is open, you can use the surface drawing tool which we implemented earlier this week. If walls are closed again, a new space will be created inside. And of course, you can always go back one step with undo.

We hope this will solve the problem but we are aware that we may still have missed some bugs. If you find some errors or have any trouble with the new functionality, please don’t hesitate to contact us or post a comment.
