= SUMMARY =

In Bob, when you select Outside as the kind of room to add, the preview graphic is a black box, rather than a graphic of the Outside room with the design style Contemporary (your only choice for design style).

Also, when you try to change to another room, if you select Outside as the room you want to go to, you see the black preview graphic, rather than a preview of Outside.

This is by design since the Outside room has no walls to define it, only a view (which can be changed). The preview for all other rooms show the windows as black since they are showing the view which can be changed.

= MORE INFORMATION =

By default, the view in the Outside room is the Mountain view. The Mountain view consists of a tree surrounded by grass, with a forest and a mountain range in the background.

To change the view:


 * 1) Choose the Other Options squishy.
 * 2) Choose the Change Something squishy.
 * 3) Click The View squishy.
 * 4) Select the view to which you would like to change.
 * 5) Select either to change the view for this room or to change the view for every room.
 * 6) Choose the green check mark button.
