Drawing defaults: grid and wall thickness
Override the defaults for major grid size, exterior wall thickness, and interior wall thickness. Per-user; stamps onto every new room.
Room Sketch 3D's defaults work for most users. If you have specific conventions — thicker walls for masonry construction, larger grid for site planning — set them once in Profile and they apply to every new room.

Each field has a Reset button next to it — reverts that single setting to the system default.

Applies to new rooms only
Overrides stamp onto NEW rooms when you create them. Existing rooms keep their original thicknesses. To change an existing room, edit its walls directly.
Frequently asked questions
Does changing the grid size affect snap?
The visual grid changes; snap stays the same. The grid is purely visual. Snap operates on a fixed precision (typically ¼ inch / 1 cm).
Why don't my overrides apply to existing rooms?
Existing rooms have their own wall thicknesses set when they were created. Changing the default doesn't retroactively change those — to adjust, edit each wall's thickness directly in the Inspector.
