Lesson 5 of 13
Label rooms and check areas
Room labels, ANSI Review, and finish and grade types.
2 min read
After you finish a level, BoxLi opens Label Rooms. You choose which room labels the level needs, then drop each one on its room. Labels name rooms; they never change the walls or the measured area.
Place your labels
- Some rooms may already have a pin that BoxLi recognised during the scan. Check those first.
- Tap Select Room Labels. Use + and − to set how many of each room type you need, for example 3 Bedroom and 2 Full Bath. Type a name and tap Add for anything not listed. Tap Done.
- Your labels appear as numbered pins in the tray under Drag Labels to Floor Plan.
- Drag a pin onto its room, or tap the pin and then tap the room on the plan. Tap Place Label to confirm.
- Repeat until the tray says All pins placed. Tap any placed pin to move or change it. Tap Add More Labels if you missed one.
Finish
- Floorplan & Photo Manager: tap Finish Scan at the top right.
- UAD 3.6: tap Review. This opens ANSI Review, below.
Tapping Cancel asks before discarding the labels you placed on this screen. Tap Keep Labeling to go back.
ANSI Review (UAD 3.6)
ANSI Review lists every label with the area and finish type of the room it sits in. The total at the top is the level's Above-Grade Finished area (or below-grade for a basement), calculated to ANSI Z765.
- Read down the list and check each room's finish type.
- Tap a row to open that room's details and fix anything wrong (see the table).
- Tap Labels at the top left to go back and move a pin.
- When it all looks right, tap Finish Scan. This ends the level.
Room details you can set
| Setting | Options | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Finish type | Finished or Unfinished, with a reason | Unfinished space is left out of finished area |
| Grade type | Finished, Non-Standard Finished, Unfinished, Garage, Exterior | Sets which ANSI area bucket the room counts in |
| Ceiling height | Measured height; flagged when below 7 ft | ANSI excludes finished space with ceilings under 7 ft (with stair and slope exceptions) |
| Heating and cooling | On or off | Unheated space doesn't count as finished living area |
You can open the same details later. Open the property, tap the level, then Manage Rooms & Labels and tap a room. The dashboard's floor plan editor has them too.
Labels, finish types and areas are your call as the appraiser. BoxLi measures; you decide what counts.
Next: Take photos (Floor Plan) or UAD 3.6 inspection.
