DIGGING UP THIS OLD THREAD TO ADD MORE WISHES
and check on the status of these....
I'm happy with the progress that SH3D has made after 4 years, but i'm still not seeing most of these features i requested. And now i'm in a position to buy professional home designer software.
So here's some further wishes that would entice me to keep SH3D on my computer
:28. SHIFT constrains to 15° instead of 45°
I've been working on a plan that uses hexagonal rooms, so naturally i would love the option of using the SHIFT to constrain move/copy by 15° rather 45.
29. Polyline tool locks to polyline points just like room creator tool
I use the polyline to line up the structures along certain axes and with each other. But lining up the polylines by click-and-drag can be horribly misaligned unless i'm zoomed in all the way. Polyline alignment would be better if it would work like the room creator, which gives you an indicator when the point is lined up with another room point or wall edge/vertex.
30. Polyline autoshapes
As i mentioned, my current idea uses regular hexagons for room shapes. Room and polyline drawing would be great if you had the ability to automatically select a shape from a saved list or menu.
31. Definable shortcuts even for plugins
Many open-source programs allow the user to define what keypresses bring up what actions. SH3D would work more efficiently if this were the case.
32. Feet-Decimals Measurement method
This way of measuring dimensions would be more conducive to the way i work. It allows you to get exact coordinates without having to convert mentally inches to feet-and-inches.
33. Option to draw walls within, outside of, or centering on room boundaries.
When creating a room, then choosing the Wall Creation tool, you can double-click inside a room to draw the walls automatically. The only problem is, you have no choice as to where along the room boundaries the walls will be drawn. (I think the default is outside of the room boundaries.) I will often create the rooms to get the layout i want, then auto-add walls later. The only problem is wall auto-creation will add walls without regard to what already exists. If i had the option to choose whether the drawn walls were just inside the room boundary, centered along them, or drawn outside of the room boundaries, it could make wall auto creation much more manageable.
34. Option to show polylines on all levels (or same level and above)
Since i use polylines for pre-alignment before i actualyy draw rooms or walls, it would help a lot if i had the OPTION to show polylines on all levels, only the level it was drawn on, or its level and higher.
35. Allow pivot points for rotating objects
When copying and pasting, then rotating, i have zero control as where the pivot point is located, and for grouped items, this forces me to not only rotate but then reposition the object. And with furniture, you never know where the center point is.
It would great if the user can move the rotation pivot point before rotating so he has more control over the alignment of the object.
I have yet to try the new photo and video creation, so as soon as i get this project completed, i can share what i've created with SH3D. I think you guys will be blown away.
