Re: Wirings plugin
Hello I am trying this plugin for the first time, i'm not a huge user of sweethome 3D so maybe i made a mistake, but i can't seam to have the wire go to a negative level ? Like from the ground floor to the frist floor, no issue, but going down to the "basement" it won't do it ?
Can someone please double check i'm not just bad at it please :D

Re: Wirings plugin
By default the 3D view shows only objects belonging to levels from the ground to the selected one. To show levels at negative elevations you must select them, so levels above (and objects belonging to them) aren't displayed.
If you start drawing the wiring at level 1, and then select the basement, then the wiring won't be shown, because it belongs to an higher level.
The workaround is to change the 3D view settings so that it shows all levels: right click the 3D view and select "Show all levels", or press CTRL+ALT+A.

Re: Wirings plugin
Thanks for this plugin. Have to learn how to use it. My problem: I have drawn a line and want to change it higher up the wall. In the 3D-view the points can not be selected only in the 2D-plan. How can I change the elevation of a line or its points?

Re: Wirings plugin
Have you draw the line using the wiring tool? You can't elevate lines drawn with the standard polyline tool. In the 3D view you can't select points, just drag them when the mouse cursor changes over the point.

Re: Wirings plugin
Thank you Daniel. The short answer seems to be "it is possible".
First my mistake, I had the pan3Dview plugin not installed. Have now done so version 4.1 beta.
Yes,I have drawn the line with the wiring tool. In the 2D-view it behaves as expected, the cursor changes over "a point" and I can move it in the horizontal plane.
In the 3D-view I can select the line (it changes color) but then the cursor does not change when over the line of over "a point". Only in the 3D-view could I move a point vertically.
My SH3D version is 7,2, the wirings plugin 4,4 beta2, LinuxMint 21,3
