Re: Problem with wall thikness and room surfaces. Miker777 Measurement can be done from middle or side of wall. One glitch that crosses me is that there is a huge behaviour difference between setting two walls with common angle, and, setting two walls without pressing ESC; the visual result may be identical, but in the second case, moving the common angle will catch the friend wall. hansmex which other apps can help ? I have to admit that after reading a 20mn tutorial in youtube, I master SW3D pretty well, and fully understand 95% of it after 4h of work. Alt is catched by enlightenment; does not reach user app. Shift alt also seems filtered (E combo to switch desktop) okh I did not complain about the lack of 3D. Re-read my message carefully. I have done some 3D in SW3D, and it was fun, limited, but suffisant. Stacking 6 identical items vertically within the same floor is PITA; but as said, SW3D is not designed for this. I complain about the fact in real life I am going to measure the walls either by outside of the building, or inside of the room, and the software does not let me enter those dimensions correctly; all dimensions are wrong by half wall depth, and all surfaces get wrong because of that. Surfaces are a 2D issue. This thickness problem is uncompatible with my needs; otherwise, I agree SW is easy to use, and gives a very quick clue about how to arrange a house. Helps a lot to visually communicate with relatives. I consider this as a bug, but considering the age of the app, I can not be the first one complaining; I did not come to report a bug, but to find a solution; I was hoping the solution could be within the last 5% I don't master. Otherwise, I have to go for an other app. But, Autocad is expensive and complex to handle, and Sketchup is ... not better than SW3D. Blender could not be installed. Will try a few other apps this WE. I have tried to draw thin walls (two walls 1cm thick, distant by 48cm) but they are not visible on the plan, and things get over complicated when it comes to adding a door (not impossible, but time consuming). Even worst when I wanted to differenciate external brick wall, air slice, glass wool, dry wall ... SW3D obviously not the good tool for this. But mastering Blender or Autocad may be too long for the time I have. |
