Draw a basic room

Draw a box, turn it into a room, then shape a roof. Three steps, about a minute — this is where everything else starts.

Step 1

Draw a box

Keep your existing model. Pick the Box tool below and draw a new box on empty grid space beside it — two corners, then the height.

Step 2

Make it a room

Right-click the box → Assign Building Role Room. Walls, a slab and materials come along.

Step 3

Make a roof

Same trick as before: click the top face to grab it, then press the button at its center.
Draw a line across the face (click two points).

Made it with Rectangle and pushed it up instead? That's an extrusion — it keeps its profile, so turn on Allow Free Edit in the right panel first.

Step 4

Lift the ridge

Then click that new edge and drag the blue (Z) arrow up — the roof pitches as you pull.
