Re: Draw (offset) Wall from Existing Wall? .. offset the position manually? ... have to know where the object is based off of the original XY ... Sorry if my reply was confusing, but my intention was mostly to highlight that there are several features that can be used and combined. A wise woman once said that the best way to learn how to use software is to study the (keyboard) shortcuts. Assuming I have not misunderstood completely (which may well be), this is one possible way offsetting walls.Say you want a new, parallel wall offset 150 cm left of an existing wall: - Select wall, open Modify wall dialogue (Ctrl-Shift-E): insert '+150' (plus 150) after existing X values. - Press Ctrl-C to copy the moved wall. - Press Ctrl-Z to (undo) move the original wall back in its original place. - Press Ctrl-V to paste the copy in the new (offset) position. A variety could be to Select wall(s and furniture), use the Plugin to move, and use Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-V as above. The latter approach would be better if you want to offset several items at the same time but requires the plugin. Using Move/Copy/Undo/Paste is, of course, not specific to SH3D, but a useful 'cheat' in lots of different software. Note that math formulas (+150) was introduced in SH3D 6.0. ok |
