Build Mode: Room Shape Disappears when "hiding" a wall

Morning,

I could be just confused but since last week, when I try and make a room area in a larger room then delete the wall, the whole shape merges with the largest room.

HOWEVER, if I use the flat room as my start, the walls are gone and i can add and remove them at will and still retain the "room".

Thanks

@HeliosTheGamer I just made several open stairwells and didn't run into the issues in my game that you described. The ways I remove the walls I don't give me the terms 'hide wall' or 'delete wall'? I replace or use the wall/fence tool while holding control in order to delete or replace the walls &/or fencing when making the open top of the stairwell.

I've made a video of how I create a stairwell normally, plus I then I also created an outer 'room/building' afterward, in case this is what you were having an issue with. Please see if what my build mode tools in the game are doing is or is not behaving like the build mode tools.

@HeliosTheGamer I am afraid I'm not understanding correctly. I tried to reproduce what you were describing and could not.
In my test I made a large room and then a room inside it and as soon as I delete a wall in the inner room the inner room is no longer considered a room.
I found the same to be the case if I began with the inner room and made another 'room' outside/around that one (main room/building). In that case the inner room is no longer considered a room when a wall is deleted.

If this is incorrect and not what you mean, can you please include screenshots and clarification? Thank you!

That is exactly what I was referring to. Just wasnt sure how to describe it. Basically I would use a faux inner room around the tops of stairs so I could remove the floor and have a vaulted stairwell. My case is am I suppose to see "hide wall" instead of remove? If so, then I dont. I have make half wall and make fence.

@SheriGR You video shows the same issue I was having, but the solution or workaround was nice to see. I used to just place the stairs, draw a room shape on the upper floor I want, then remove the floor and remove or swap the walls. Seems like something changed and that's what confused me.

@HeliosTheGamer Thank you for letting me know. I'm glad this other method works for you. Happy building and simming! 🙌
