3. Click to select the project tree.

4. Add the locations to the project tree, including sites, buildings, floors, and rooms.

Composer requires this location hierarchy: Site > Building > Floor > Room. The devices will be added

to the rooms later.

Tip: You do not have to add every level in the hierarchy manually. If you begin building your project

tree by adding a room, Composer automatically adds a Building and Floor object for you. You can

easily rename these objects in the tree later.

a. In the project tree, select a location (site, building, or floor) where a room exists.

Example: The Master Bedroom is on the Second floor, so you would click Second to select it. Go

to the Items pane and double-click or drag-and-drop Master Bedroom to copy it to the project

tree.

a. In the Items pane > Locations tab, double-click the room you want to add. The room displays

in the selected location in the project tree. The room is given a default name, but you can

rename it or other location object at any time by right-clicking on the object in the project tree,

and choosing Rename.

b. Repeat these steps until you have included all of the floors and rooms on each floor in the

home to complete your project.

Example: Add three (3) rooms to the Main floor.

a. Double-click Theater in the Items pane > Locations tab to add a Home > House > Main >

Theater to the project tree.

b. Select Main in the project tree, then double-click Bedroom to add it to the Main floor.

c. With Main still highlighted in the project tree, double-click Front room to add it to the Main

floor.
