Re: Area calculation and auto dimensions for 2D Daniel, I gave your plug-in a quick test using two files. Test dimensions is a file I made for testing your plug-in. - Both levels get dimensions; - Round walls get strange dimension(s), see bottom left; - When using variable wall thickness the dimensions behave in a strange way. If I change all walls to the same thickness, the problem disappears. - If you save a project with dimensions, after re-opening clicking the button doesn't erase the dimensions. They have to be erased manually. Casa Paolo is a very simple house I designed a few days ago for a forum member. As you can see, your plug-in becomes confused: - Level 0 dimensions aren't correct, even though all walls have the same thickness and the house is very simple; - Level 1 dimensions don't appear at all. Also, I noticed that all dimensions are taken from the centre line of walls. Normally, in the Netherlands, dimensions are taken along the inside and/or outside of walls, and wall thickness is dimensioned separately. In larger designs, the number of dimensions can become quite large, thus making drawings hard to read. Not all dimensions are equally important, sometimes even irrelevant if for repeating wall segments. Also, because individual wall sections are dimensioned, you won't have a dimension for the entire wall length. Example: an outside wall is 10 metres long. On the inside are three rooms. You will see the room dimensions, but not the length of the entire wall. A partial solution could be if: a - you draw a large rectangle around your design, then select a number of walls. The dimensions of these walls are projected on the rectangle. b - repeat if necessary. Hans ---------------------------------------- Hans new website - under constuction hansdirkse.info |
