In HomeCADEngine facade class I have a method "addRoom(room:Room)" and it will add this room to a ArrayList. But is it break facade pattern when we create a room outside facade class and then pass it into addRom() method??
A:
It depends. If Room belongs in your context (rather than the other one hidden behind facade), then it's a reasonable idea. If Room belongs in the other context, then you probably could use a factory or translator which builds objects used by the other system from primitive properties or objects from your system.

One context is your application. The other context is the CAD system for which you are writing the facade. Is Room defined and used in your system, or in CAD?
