SH3D V4.0 dimension quotations & area wishes
I write in English so that everyone can benefit from it.

If I do like SH3D, I regret a few simple features modification (should be easy to implement as work is already done) which omission, either makes time consuming or annoying.

1/ An option to report on the 2D plan, quotations of the inside or outside of walls.
This can be crucially important for:
* check local planning regulation
* building renovation
* furniture renovation (kitchen, etc.)
Note, if while using SW3D, on can view a wall's length, you don't retain the info on print, nor if you want to see all walls.

Now as dimension is already reported from wall middle, having inside or outside measure, is just adding or subtracting half of both wall thickness (one could imagine one wall being thicker than the other)
Coding something as:
insideL = wall.lenght() - 0.5*leftwall.thichness() - 0.5*rightwall.thichness()

2/ An option to report on the 2D plan, total floor area (inside or outside measure)
Again this is crucial important to check for instance the total ground area against the field area in planning regulation.

3/ An option to report on the 2D plan, each room floor area (inside or outside measure).

4/ An option to report on the 2D Plan, inside/outside wall's area

"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 centre 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."
Well as, I already said correcting this by wall thickness should be easy.

Of course one could enter in long discussions where & how to show these quotation & area information, but better have the info, than none.

Thanks
