For this portion of the class, we're going to focus on these two rooms here. We've got the, the main kind of fitness area here in this location. And then we've also got what'll be like a exercise room that we'll set up with exercise bikes.
And so what I want to do is I'm going to drop some interior elevation tags in these two spaces here. And then we can go ahead and get started on our custom wall finishes. So I'm going to jump over to the view tab.
Elevation sets interior elevation, which is going to work out well for us. And then I'll go ahead and place it here. And then, because I want to have all four of these boxes here, because I want to show the finishes on all four of the walls and I'll do the same thing out in here.
And so I'm just going to repeat that process. Few tab elevation. I'll just, again, set it kind of in a location here, and then we can make adjustments as we go through.
But I'll go ahead and click those boxes. And so now that we've got the elevation set, I'd like to go in and create my rooms. And when we create rooms in these spaces, you remember it doesn't necessarily recognize the links elements like we had before, and we also want to make sure we're on the right work set.

So this would be interiors. So like when I look at some of the rooms we created before, if we go to our one bedroom plan where we created rooms in these spaces, they're all on that interiors work set. And so if I jump back to my fitness center plan, and so as I go to place my rooms, if you recall from when we did the living unit, we changed the work set to interiors, and then we also needed to go through and copy monitor the walls that we wanted to use for this.
And so what I'll do is before we start placing the rooms, that's what I'll want to go ahead and do first. And we don't need to do the whole thing. Cause like I said, we're just going to focus on these two spaces here.
And so I feel like I've tortured you enough with some of the production work we did in the living unit. And so we can kind of dial it back here for the second half of the class. But again, for that copy monitor portion, we're going to go to the collaborate tab, copy monitor, and we'll select the link.
And with the link selected, we can go ahead and pick the objects. And if you remember, we went to options and if we go to walls, you can see these are all the walls that we've got. And the original type should match the new type, which is work we've already done for ourselves.
And so we're good there. And then I can go through and I could use that, that option to, to copy them over. If I click something like say copy, then it'll go ahead and allow me to start grabbing those objects.
And like I've mentioned, we're just going to focus on getting everything for these two spaces here. We don't have to go all the way around the, the entire building, but we do want to make sure we snag all these. And I think I got that one already, but if I click on it again, it'll let me know, you can see, lets you know if you've already done it and then this guy here.
Okay. And so now I've got all of these set up. If I go back to my room command, rather, if I go back and hit finish to finish the copy monitor, I can then go to room command and now it'll recognize the different spaces.
And so again, making sure I'm on that interiors work set and then placing the room here and here. And so I'll give these their unique numbers. So instead of a one Oh seven, this is going to be, I'm going to give my, I always give myself room.
So instead of one Oh seven, I'm going to make this room one 20 for whatever reason, if more rooms need to be added to that floor, then it's not a big deal. And then I'll make this one 21 and I'll go ahead and call it, this is going to be our fitness area. And then we'll call this one the classroom.
Okay. Now I've got my rooms, my copied in walls here, be a little bit of editing that we can do to this one and this one, since the copy monitor just brings it straight in without any edits. And then we should be good to go to get our custom wall finishes going.
