Re: Area calculation and auto dimensions for 2D What can you do with SH3D? 1 - Print to a page or to a PDF file that includes: --> a 2D plan, which can include the name and surface area (in sq.ft. or sq.m.) of each room --> a 3D view, which shows the house from a bird's eye view, or through the "eyes" of a virtual visitor --> a furniture list, that sums up every item of furniture that you have added to the design. 1a - Through File --> Page setup you can select which of these three items should be included in your report. 1b - Note that room dimensions are calculated from the inside measurements of the room. If doors are inserted before the room is drawn, half the surface under the door will be added to the room surface. 2 - There is a plug-in available that adds the function Tools --> Compute walls' area. This function will calculate the area of the selected walls. Note that the wall surface will be calculated based on the center line dimensions of the wall. This means that the resulting number will be too great for inside walls, too small for outside walls. Sloping walls are correctly calculated, albeit also along the center line. What can you NOT do with SH3D? SH3D will not automagically make a list of all rooms and surfaces and include that in your report. You can easily use (e.g.) LibreOffice for that, which can generate a PDF file from both its text processor and spreadsheet program. Please, bear in mind that SH3D was designed first and for all as an interior decorating program. Although I am not the developer of this program, I do not think that, currently, there are plans to implement a function like the one you described.
