I don't _have_ a blueprint. If I had a bluprint, I'd just use that. I wouldn't need to draw a floorplan. I've managed to get a partial floorplan done -- it's not easy, but if you lay out the dimension lines first, and then eyball the wall placements to get the dimensions right, you can get something approximate. Things don't ever line up exactly. There's no gravity/magnetism, so wall positions won't "snap" to the dimension lines (or each other). Other objects (cabinets, bathtubs, etc.) won't snap to walls or dimension lines either. It's probably close enough, but when you print it out there all lots of small gaps and overlaps that shouldn't be there. Now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to print to a large paper-size. There's a "custom" selection, but it doesn't seem to do anything. [It' would be awfully nice if there was a way to turn off of the 3D stuff. The program is pretty sluggish, and I assume it's the 3D stuff that's slowing it down.] Unfortunately, I think it's time to install Windows and go back to the program I used to use. :( I hate Windows, but at least I can do a large-format printing, walls are all connected to each other, and dimension lines are associated with the things they're measuring. I also like the use of standard floorplan symbols instead of the white bounding-box with the rendered picutre. -- Grant |
