Basic Setup - Default Room Settings

Next up in the configuration is to set the default rooms settings which will apply to all rooms until configured otherwise. 
Default room settings will be used for those rooms which will be imported via Buildings &, Structures in the following step. These settings can later be changed in Settings>Default room settings when the setup is finished to affect future room imports. 

If you edit "Default room settings" in a later stage these settings will only affect future room imports. Not the rooms already imported. To edit already imported rooms you will have to Edit each room in the Humly Control Panel. 

Changing settings on this page will not affect already imported room. Got to Room setting for already imported rooms and mark those rooms you want to edit. Then press Edit selected.
