Dividing rooms using inside walls

Tips & Tricks
1

Here is a trick for dividing rooms using an inside wall as an anchor point.

  1. Select a point on your inside wall, conveniently close to an outside wall where you would like to divide an existing room.
  2. Using a solid piece of material (cardboard, plywood, boxes, whatever) as a temporary wall, span the distance between the exterior and interior wall.
  3. Remap the floor, especially on both sides of the temporary wall. Make sure there are no gaps in the temporary wall the Lidar can see through. (Remove temporary wall after remapping.)
    When the mapping is completed, the algorithm will now treat the inside was as an outside one, and it can be used to divide rooms. You will also end up with a permanent room break (wall) where the temporary wall was.

This tip confused me. I don’t understand how to map the other side of the temporary wall. In my case, the charging station is in the living room. It maps the living room, hallway to all the bedrooms, and the primary bedroom as a single room. I am unable to split them. If I use this tip and put a temporary wall between living room and hallway, how do I get the vacuum to map the other side of the “permanent room break”?
Edit: I got it to work by creating an opening in the temporary wall just large enough for the vacuum to fit through. It’s all good now!

Can you post what the Map looks like so we can see where you can divide the rooms?
