how to connect two "rooms"

[Jeff24]

How can connect too "spaces" that have a door and have it be one "room"? A prime (though not only) example of this is a bedroom with a closet. The closet has a door which makes Home Designer think it's a different room. Several problems: 1) I don't particularly want to label the closet and 2) I do want the closet space to count in the room's area. There are other examples where a stair well/foyer has a closable door for sound mitigation but really it is one space. Again, we want one label and one area calculation.

 

It would be great if there was an option on doors to say "Don't divide spaces". Sort of the anti-room divider.

Try changing the walls the doors are in to "no room definition".

Cool idea. That worked as-is for one of the situations but for the others, the wall with the door-to-be-ignored also helps define other rooms. For those I had to use the context menu on the wall and "Add break" (or two) at appropriate places. Magic. Thanks

all enclosed spaces are defined as rooms for sake of software.

 

Not sure really what you are looking for.

 

You can open up room definition box and turn off label and it will not be named nor show dims/area.

 

And yes a closet is not a bedroom.... in architectural terms.

they are 2 distinct rooms, just as your stairwell is if each end seals off with doors.
