Re: Magnetism / snap to distance / symmetry
With a new plan, it is possible to:
- Start with drawing one wall.
- Modifying this wall to accurate co-ordinates.
- Draw from that wall (using ENTER and numeric values when possible).
That helps a lot with precision. And the Advanced Editing plugin is perfect for moving many walls.

Playing around with the XML file (thread 7674), I realised that it was easy to inspect wall co-ordinates and spot the ones that are off (and even to round all wall start and end points to the nearest cm if one dares edit xml). Specifically, it was useful in finding that one wall I had moved accidentally. Alas, this approach is probably of little use to most users and the cm values in the sh3d Home.xmel file may be of limited help in your case working with feet and inches.

But the tidy presentation of the xml file, makes me think that it might not be too hard for someone to create a plugin with a list of walls with properties.
