Re: duplicate shells to simulate rough metal

I tried to place the cylinder doors in the room in the file and nothing worked,
...
sorry, not the cylinders are doors, but the cylinders are stairs (to insert them on the plan into the room)
You can't use cylinders-as-stairs for this. When you import an object and check the staircase box it will import as a staircase but the hole it cuts in the floor is square. It needs a custom cutout which you can't set in the import dialog. You can add the cylinder to a Furniture Library and there you can set a custom cutout.

SVG cutout for a circle:
M 0.5,0.5 l 0.5,0 A 0.5,0.5 1 1,0 0,0.5 A 0.5,0.5 1 1,0 1,0.5 z

SVG cutout for a dodecagon cylinder:
M0,0.366022099 v0.267955801 L0.133977901,0.866022099 L0.366022099,1 h0.267955801 L0.866022099,0.866022099 L1,0.633977901 v-0.267955801 L0.866022099,0.133977901 L0.633977901,0 h-0.267955801 L0.133977901,0.133977901 z

For complex cutouts use a window in a wall. For example import a character as a 'door or window' to create a hole with the outline of the character.
