Re: Auto Dimensioning plugin
Indeed this is another issue which happen also with some old files. I don't get no error message but insert the new level. If exist some round walls it draw the radius and nothing more. I don't know why!! My workaround: -save the file with new level (eventually under new name) -reopen the file -delete new level -try again. Usually work in this way.

Re: Auto Dimensioning plugin
Thanks for the workaround, it worked From your description, it sounds like an issue about the selected level of a home which is null as long as the home doesn't contain any level. At line 137 of AutoDimensionigPlugin.java, you create a new level in that case but then you don't update selectedLevel field which makes getWallsAtLevel fail line 143 when it tries to update wallsAtLevel list.
Did you try to use Eclipse debugger (explained in the Debugging the plug-in section of the Plug-in developer's guide)?

Re: Auto Dimensioning plugin
@Emmanuel Thanks you test it and especially you have read the script.

Believe me or not but every time when I start to make a new plugin I read again and again your tutorial + I try to understand how you and others do this. Without Eclipse debugger and assistance I can't do nothing. About the bug: I investigate a little and I compare few simple files created under different SH3D versions. When I create and test a plugin I've made some test files with the current version of SH3D. Rarely I've test on old files and this is my fault. Now, after comparing the xml file created with 5.4, 6.2 and 6.5.2 I've observe on last it exist level0 even it is the only one. Maybe this induce me in error and Eclipse debugger don't say nothing. That's prove I'm not a programmer. I will see if I can improve it without mess other functions. Until there I recommend for users who have old files with unique level to update their file by adding a level, save file, reopen and delete the added level. In this way you will have an updated file. If you only open and save the file will don't work.

Re: Auto Dimensioning plugin
Forget what I've say! I'm totally wrong and is only my fault! I've made a simple file with 6.5.2 and is not what I suppose. Maybe when I try to clean the code I delete even some necessary lines. I'll try to fix it as soon as possible and I'll post an other update. Now back to work. I'm sorry for the inconvenient

Re: Auto Dimensioning plugin
New and fixed (hope) version 1.4.1 @Emmanuel You are a good teacher! Thanks! I've try to fix bug that make plugin to don't do what we expect in some circumstances. Now I hope it work with unique level file (old or new) and also with demo files. Don't ask me what I'm done because I don't know. I'm sorry for the inconvenient!!
PS @ Emmanuel I've read Your reply after I make this post. I've found the same solution but after 4 hours of investigate the code by inserting spays on different stage. Thanks a lot!!!
Also on Source Forge

Re: Auto Dimensioning plugin
Thanks for the update. Sorry, I should have probably written my suggestion earlier to help you fix this issue faster.
I added your plug-in to the Plug-ins and tools page. Thanks again for your contribution!

Re: Auto Dimensioning plugin
I downloaded v1.5 from both links, but after installing SH3D still reports v1.3. Also, the interface doesn't match what is shown in your images.
CORRECTION SH3D now correctly indicates v1.5.

Re: Auto Dimensioning plugin
Hello, I added autodimensioning, saved the sh3d model and read it again. Is there a way to delete all these autodimensioning lines from the sh3d model please ?
