previous exercise.

Attribute Editor dialog box. Select the RM_NAME row and then, at

8. Repeat steps 1 through 7, substituting KITCHEN , FRONT DECK , and
BACK DECK for the room name attribute and selecting the appropri-
ate polyline as a reference for each block.
There are no node point objects for the deck text, so you can just
rotate and place the attribute a little left of center on the appropri-
ate deck. For the decks, change the floor material to Cedar Planks .
Metric users will need to open the Additional Format dialog box for
each block and add the conversion factor and suffix for each block.
When you are done, your cabin should look like Figure 9.33.
