Problem with wall thikness and room surfaces. Hello. Say, I set default wall thinkness to 1cm, and create a square with wall tool, wall length 1m; then, I double click with room tool to obtain the internal room and surface. The internal surface is said to be 0.98m2. Now, set default wall thickness to 50cm, and start again. Surface is 0.25m2. How to build a plan with thick walls, using internall and/or external dimensions of the house ? I am going to measure my whole house precisely, and thought SW3D could be a nice tool to report all values, and draw the schematic. But problems start at the very beginning. SW3D does let me use the real world values in any way. When two ortogonal walls have different thickness, the angle is very strange. The only work around I have found is to draw walls one by one (set both ends of a wall, then escape); this allows to work by external dimensions; but the start of new wall must be manually placed on the edge of the previous one after substratcting half of the thickness by mental calculation. If I start by drawing measurements (dimensions), and try to set two orthogonal lines with one common angle, they are magnetic only in one dimensions; the other dimension may get shifted a few cm. When I draw walls on them, walls are not magnetic at all to dimensions. If I draw walls first, then set dimensions, and move walls, dimensions do not follow wals they had been measured from. I wonder if SW3D can really do what I need: let me draw schematics of the house with detailed scale. Also, under Linux, the shift key does not remove magnetism; shift can enable magnetism when it's disabled in preferences, but does not disables it when set. |
