Re: Heights and elevations
Another problem I'm having with doors is the side on which they are hung. They flip between opening in or opening out, but always also hinge on that side. I want a door that opens in, but is hung on the outer edge of the wall. Is this something that can be set, or do I need to choose a different door object?

In the 'Modify furniture' window, check the box that says 'Mirror shape'.

No, that flips the way the door opens, but doesn't change the side of the wall on which the hinges attach. As I said, I need a door which is hinged on the OUTER surface of the wall, but opens inwards. Mirroring doesn't change that. Is this perhaps something that cannot be modified for an existing object and so I need to find a different one. Like finding one with a threshold, it's not easy to see these detail features until you actually try and use the object.

There's a lot of helpful information in the Help files for SH3D that covers some of the questions you've asked, as well as some possible future questions.
I recommend spending a little time reading through them. wink

Ah how simple that sounds. If only it were true. Read everything I could before ever asking anything here. The help files and tips etc are limited to the basics and fail to fully explain the details. Hence my questions here.

Thanks anyway.
