Door swing in plan
Hi, does someone know how to get the door swing shown in base plan when using imported doors? For "door swing" I mean the arch which shows the space in the plan for opening a door . If I use the default door no problem, but with imported door (included the ones in the 3d models on this website)I can't get it. When imported the door, of course I selected the "door and window" flag.

Re: Door swing in plan
Mita, Hans, There's no way to specify a door swing in OBJ format. The OBJ format isn't that clever! If you want to achieve that with your own model, you should create a custom SH3F file containing your door model (use Furniture Library Editor if you want to), and add the following properties in the PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties file contained in the SH3F zipped file (where n is the number of the model):
By example, the default door defined in Sweet Home 3D catalog is defined this way:
name#19=Door category#19=Doors and windows icon#19=/com/eteks/sweethome3d/io/resources/door.png model#19=/com/eteks/sweethome3d/io/resources/door.obj width#19=91.5 depth#19=14.5 height#19=208.5 movable#19=false doorOrWindow#19=true doorOrWindowWallThickness#19=7.5 doorOrWindowWallDistance#19=1 doorOrWindowSashXAxis#19=5 doorOrWindowSashYAxis#19=8.5 doorOrWindowSashWidth#19=81.5 doorOrWindowSashStartAngle#19=0 doorOrWindowSashEndAngle#19=-90
I guess it's not so easy to handle but it's the way all doors and windows are defined in Sweet Home 3D. I'll try to add some options about doors in a future version of the Furniture Library Editor.
Finally, if you just want to show the swing of doors and windows defined in the 3D models page, please consider downloading the SH3F files that contain all of them with correct definition.

Re: Door swing in plan
Please could you explain how the parameters above relate to the way the outlines work? i.e. What is the WallDistance? Does SashXAxis have meaning for a door?
My experiment ended up with a door that was much wider than the wall I put it in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Door swing in plan
So the "depth" shown on the figure is not included in the properties?

Oh, I see. I was only thinking of the properties listed above.
