Re: Can't get dimension lines to work > There's no way to add to a wall after it's created? > That's probably why my walls keep coming apart > when I try to modify them. When you create a new wall, you can attach it to the previous by clicking on the *free* end of that wall. So a wall can't be attached to the middle of an other one. > Perhaps I just don't understand how to properly use it, > but SH3D seems unsuited to drawing a floorplan based > on measured dimensions unless you want to draw > a floorplan and pre-calculate the center-line length of > all of the walls before you start work in SH3D. > Am I missing something? Yes, I think you missed or forgot the first part of the user's guide at http://www.sweethome3d.eu/userGuide.html#importingHomeBlueprint and the first part of the video tutorial at http://www.sweethome3d.eu/documentation.html#videoTutorial : importing the blue print of your home to draw walls upon it. ;-) It's not mandatory but if you want to layout furniture in an existing home, it's really faster, and from day one, Sweet Home 3D was designed with this feature in mind (and dimensions were added afterwards for documentation purpose). By the way, note that there's already a (still open) request about dimensions connected to objects : see nezdelion comment at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&a...id=152568&atid=784668 Feel free to download Sweet Home 3D sources and contribute such a modification, but be aware that connecting objects in a software costs a lot in programming time, if you want the software behavior to remain ergonomic. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |
