The Room Catalog is the menu inside the R.Design app for opening existing rooms. It is the central entry point for sample rooms, rooms you have saved to your cloud, and the room editor for creating new ones.
Opening the Catalog
Click the home icon at the top of the right toolbar to open the catalog.
The catalog opens as a full-screen modal window. The top-right Clear Room button discards the currently loaded room, and × closes the catalog.
Catalog Tabs
Switch between room sources using the tabs at the top.
| Tab | Contents |
|---|---|
| Sample | A curated list of publicly available rooms selected by the R.Design team |
| My Cloud Rooms | Rooms (saved to the cloud) that the signed-in user has view or edit permissions for |
| Offline Rooms | (to check: feature details) |
| Room Editor | The editor for creating a new room inside the app → Room Editor |
Filtering Rooms
Use the filter row below the tabs to narrow down the list.
| Field | Role |
|---|---|
| Search | Free-text search by room name |
| Ownership | Filter by all rooms / rooms you own, etc. |
| Last Saved By | Filter by the user who last saved the room |
| Sort | Sort by save date (newest first), etc. |
| Tags | Filter by tag |
| Community | Filter by the community the room belongs to (Default, etc.) |
Loading a Room
1. Download
Rooms whose thumbnails show a Download overlay (downward arrow icon) have not yet been downloaded to your device. Click the thumbnail to start the download.
2. Click to Load
Rooms that are already downloaded (thumbnails without the overlay) load when you click them.
When a room loads but items do not appear
Depending on network conditions, the asset data included in a room may not be fully downloaded. The app retries downloading asset chunks up to 3 times; after that, it loads the room even with some assets missing.
If furniture items that should be visible are missing, restart the app from a location with a stable connection and reopen the room to fetch the remaining assets.
Preset Rooms
A Preset Room is not a room built with the Room Editor — it is a spatial model created in dedicated 3D modeling software and packaged for use in R.Design. Structural elements such as windows, columns, and beams can be modeled accurately.
Sample Rooms are a subset of the “Preset Room” type curated by the R.Design team from the R.Design spatial model database.
To request an original Preset Room, see Spatial 3D Model Creation Request.
