# How to divide a space on my plan without adding plaster walls?
## Use cases and best practices for separators
To define an area on your plan without fully enclosing it with walls, you can use a ***separator***, available in the ***Walls*** menu.
Using a separator allows you to:
- **Create a new room** without adding plaster walls on all sides.
- **Apply different coverings** to adjacent areas (e.g., tiles on the kitchen side, wood flooring on the living room side).
- **Artificially split a wall** to apply a wall covering or insulation to just one section. \[Learn more\]
- **Close off a space** so that it’s recognized as a room if there’s no door and a full-height opening is planned.

### **How to place a separator?**
1. Hover your mouse near the wall where you want to attach the separator.
→ An orange guideline will appear along the wall, and a blue and green dot will guide you.
2. Click and drag your separator to the desired length.
→ It works just like a regular wall: click to validate a straight section, then continue in another direction if you want to create an angle.
3. Finish your outline by connecting the separator to a wall to enclose the space.
Once placed, you can click on the separator to **move it**, **adjust it**, or **modify the angle** if one was created.

### **Best practices**
❌ **Do not leave a gap between the separator and the wall:** if the connection isn’t made, the space won’t be recognized as a room.
****
**✅Make sure it’s properly connected:** the wall turns blue, and a blue and green point appears to guide you.
****
---
❌ **Do not insert the separator inside a wall**: the connection might not be detected correctly.
****
**✅ Always connect the separator flush against the wall**, **not inside it:**
****
---
**❌ Do not fully enclose a space using only separators:**
**✅ Instead, connect your separator to existing walls for proper recognition:**
