Add transition strips and place them on the floor plan

Transition strips are the thresholds, reducers and carpet bars on a job. Say which rooms they go in, then place each one on its doorway on the floor plan.

Add a transition strip

1. On the job page, open Transition Strips (under Not on this job: if it’s empty) and add one.
2. Choose the Finish (Silver, Gold, Chrome, Brass, Nickel or Custom), the Type (for example Carpet bar, Seam binder, Flat bar, Stair nose, T-Molding, Reducer) and the Length.
3. Enter the price each, or a price per foot.
4. Tap Rooms and set how many go in each room. Any you don’t put in a room count as Not in a room: spares, or ones you’ll place later.

The quantity charged is the total across the rooms plus the ones not in a room.

Place them on the floor plan

1. In the floor plan, tap Place transition strips on the toolbar. The Transition Strips panel opens.
2. Each transition strip lists its rooms, with how many are placed, for example “1 of 2”.
3. Tap Place beside a room. The transition strip goes on the room’s longest free wall if it fits; if not, the app asks you to tap a wall.
4. Drag a placed transition strip along its wall to the doorway.

Once placed, the button reads View and zooms to the transition strip. You can add a new one from the same panel; it’s the same as adding it on the job page.

Good to know

• A doorway between two rooms counts for the room whose wall you tapped.
• Place a transition strip in a room that isn’t on its list and the app adds that room, or uses a spare, and tells you, with Undo.
• You can’t lower a room’s quantity below the number already placed on the plan.
• If a room’s shape changes, its transition strips stay on the matching walls.
• Transition strips placed in rooms can also cut down your tack strip: switch on Leave out doorways on the tack strip.
