Room-building improvements?
I am very much enjoying Software Inc, but there are a couple issues with building I would like to see addressed:

When building a new building, I tend to want to build the outer walls first to get the basic outline of the building set.

However, when I do that, it makes the room cloning tool useless, since that tool seems to only be able to create a new room from scratch, not subdivide an existing room. I would love to see the clone tool extended to allow cookie-cutter rooms to be deployed on top of an existing open floor.

Also, I find I get the "can't build a room inside a room" message far more often than I think I should, especially when using the freeform wall tool. I would love to see this refined to allow me not to have to figure out which vertex I have to pick first, or better yet, remove the room-in-room restriction entirely.

Finally, I would love to have a planning tool of some sort so I don't have to waste millions on refining my room design, but could instead take time to plan out the floor plan visually before committing money to it.

Thanks for taking the time to read these suggestions.

The only option is to reload a savegame.

You can save blueprints, but it doesn't work so well for rooms. I spent 24hrs creating the 'perfect' floor though.It's a 17x17 square I can stack into a tower, and also connect on each side to another future hallway. I've yet to go three floors high, as each floor has 40 computers. With 3 shifts, that's a lot of monkeys.

All rooms 200% environment. The inbox is used as the only computer accesssory. Except marketers get a phone.

I'm using a mod which allows me to create an interior wall, which is something you mentnioned. It's the bright blue walls in the center. They make the elevators and vending machines have their own alcoves.
