Room Marking Guide

This page covers the steps after the outline is marked. The goal is not to recreate your floor plan like CAD. The goal is to give the system the inputs it actually uses: whether a square is fully covered, how the home is oriented, what sits in each square, and who sleeps where.

1) What does this page help you finish?

Once the outline is done, the wizard still needs four layers of input:

1. Fill level: whether a square is full, extended, or partially missing
2. Orientation and front door: how the home aligns to north, and where the main door sits
3. What each square contains: mainly bed, stove, and toilet
4. Family layer (optional): birth dates and each member's sleeping area

Those layers are what let the report connect missing corners, entry flow, sleep zones, kitchen-bathroom clashes, and family Day Master linkage.

2) Step 2: Mark fill level first

The outline step only answers: is this square part of the home at all?

Fill level answers the next question: is that square fully covered, or not?

Current states:

• Full: the square is basically covered as a normal part of the layout
• Extended: a small section pushes outward beyond the main footprint
• Missing corner: the square exists, but the actual built area is clearly smaller than a full palace

A practical way to decide:

• keep Full when the square is covered normally
• use Extended when that side clearly bumps outward
• use Missing corner when the square is cut, recessed, partly open, or noticeably reduced

Notes:

• the center and convex add-on cells do not offer Extended
• untouched squares default to Full
• you do not need pixel-perfect precision here; only correct the squares that are clearly incomplete or clearly protruding

3) Step 3: Set orientation and front door

This is the step that anchors the grid to real directions.

You do two things here.

Rotate the grid

Rotate until the top of the screen lines up with your home's north as closely as possible.

If the home is not aligned exactly north-south, use the north offset option to lean the mapping toward northwest / north / northeast.

Place the front door

Tap the palace where the front door belongs. Tap again to cycle its facing.

This layer affects judgments such as:

• which palace the entry falls into
• whether the entry is tied to the kitchen, toilet, or sleep zone
• certain entry-related drags and possible risks

If you are not sure, you can still skip it. The report still runs; it just loses some entry-specific precision.

4) Step 4: Mark what is in each square, not just the room name

This is the most important marking step now.

The system is not really asking: what room should I call this square?

It is asking:

What is actually in this square that matters for Feng Shui judgment?

Current options:

• Other
• Bed
• Bed + Toilet
• Bed + Stove
• Stove
• Stove + Toilet
• Toilet

Why this is better:

• the report mainly cares about sleep zone / toilet / stove signals
• one “room” can contain more than one meaningful function
• judging by what is in the square is usually more accurate than forcing a simple room label too early

How should you mark it?

• Bed: use the area where people actually sleep
• Stove: use the main cooking point
• Toilet: use the toilet / main bathroom core point
• Combined options: use them when one square truly contains both functions

Examples:

• a compact suite where the sleep zone and toilet land in the same square → Bed + Toilet
• a studio-like zone where the bed and stove share the same square → Bed + Stove
• a tight kitchen-bath overlap in one square → Stove + Toilet

If a square only contains ordinary living-room, study, circulation, or storage use, Other is usually enough.

5) Step 5: Family birth dates and sleeping areas (optional)

This layer is optional. It is not required to generate a report.

You can skip it and get the layout diagnosis first. Or you can add family birth dates to give the report a personal layer.

What does the system use this for?

• it calculates each member's Day Master element from birth date
• it applies Li Chun (Start of Spring) as the year cutoff for zodiac timing
• it links each member to a sleep zone and builds member-level interpretations

How do you assign the sleeping area?

Choose a member, then tap the square that contains a bed.

That means a valid sleep square can be:

• Bed
• Bed + Toilet
• Bed + Stove

If a square does not contain a bed, it cannot be assigned as that member's sleeping area.

When is it worth filling?

Fill it when you want the report to answer questions like:

• which family member is more affected by this layout
• why two people respond differently inside the same home
• why a certain sleep zone, palace, or entry feels more sensitive for one person
• how the 2026 zodiac and Fan Tai Sui layer fits in

If you only want a fast layout diagnosis, skipping it is completely fine.

6) Common mistakes

Mistake 1: trying to label every square too precisely

You do not need to.

The highest-value inputs are:

• obvious missing corners or extensions
• bed / stove / toilet squares
• front door and overall orientation

Mistake 2: treating “room name” and “what is in the square” as the same thing

That makes the analysis less accurate.

For example, a square may belong to a bedroom in plain language, but if the toilet or stove really occupies that same square, the combined option is the better input.

Mistake 3: skipping the family layer because you do not know the birth hour

The current wizard only needs the birth date here, not the hour.

This is not a full Bazi chart. It is a practical personal layer added on top of the home report.
