&lt;p&gt;How can I create a new cell in OpenBuidings Designer?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Steps to Accomplish&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please follow the below steps through which you can quickly create a new cell in OpenBuildings Designer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At first, you will have to place a Block and extrude it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/7026.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol start="2"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Then from the Content ribbon select &amp;ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;Define Cell Origin&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;rdquo; tool and define a point on the block.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/8814.png" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol start="3"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Next place a fence around the block and open the Cell Library dialog box.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/4530.png" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol start="4"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the Cell Library dialog box click on File and select New to create a cell file.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/4150.png" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol start="5"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;After creating the cell file in the Cell Library dialog box click on &amp;ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;Create Cell&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;rdquo; and provide some name to it and choose what type of cell it is going to be Graphic, Point or Parametric (in this case Graphic cell was chosen).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/1488.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol start="6"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Then you can see that the cell has been created and is showing in the Cell Library dialog box.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/0841.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/3108.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol start="7"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Finally, double click on that newly created cell to place it as an Active Cell in your design model.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/3730.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
