Now that we've gone through a few different lessons on how to add finishes to walls, what I wanna do in this next set of videos here is focus on this portion of the plan. And so to get that set up, we're gonna do a few of the same things that we did with our living unit. And that's gonna include jumping into our floor plan here and creating the overall plans that we need or the enlarged plans that we need.
So that we have a finished plan and a furniture or in our case, it's gonna be more of an equipment plan for the spaces within this room here. And so the first thing I'll do to get that set up is I'm gonna go to the view tab here and making sure I'm just on this level one architectural. And you could do it from the level one interior as well.
It's not gonna matter either one. It's gonna work just as long as we're on one of our overall plans. You can see I swapped over to interior.
It's gonna give us the same result here, but we'll do the call out. And then I've got these different options, right? Cause we created the finished plan option. So I'll go ahead and click finish plan.
And then I'll just do a call out of this space here. And because I can't live with myself if that bubble stays in that location, I'll go ahead and move it either to this location here or because I put this bubble on that side, I can go ahead and move it so that it's lined up with that other one right there. And so that'll give us our interior call out for that.

And so we'll go to that view. And so I can either go to it from the project browser here or I can double click on the bubble, same result. And then a couple of things I can go in and I can assign our view template.
If you recall, we had a view template for our interior finished plan. Let's see, it changes the scale of the view and adjusted some of the visibility and graphics that we have here. And then I can go ahead and rename it.
So I'll just right click, rename. And what I can do is I'm gonna call this one level one and I'm gonna call it locker room. Actually, let's just call it fitness center, finished plan.
And there we go. And so now we've got our finished plan set up. And next thing we'll do is we'll jump in and start working on one of these restrooms.
And the intent here is not necessarily to create a comprehensive restroom plan like we have done in the past, but it's to apply the skills that we've gone through to put them into a locker room layout like you see here.
