New to Sweet Home 3D I drew homes for 15 years in New Zealand using Datacad and Spirit. Now living in Arizona and not having my CAD program anymore, I'm looking for an alternative to shelling out a grand to repurchase Spirit (a great program, but I only need it for one project I need to do). So here's a few things that have cropped up in my early playing with SH3D. 1. How do I make a wall xx feet long exactly? In both Datacad and Spirit, I's start drawing the wall, nit the space bar and enter the length I wanted. 2. Dimensioning 1. How do I dimension a wall thickness? If I click on the outside corner, then the inside corner, I get an angled dimension, not the wall thickness dimension. 3. Dimensioning 2. Can I do string dimensions? What I mean is start at one corner, then snap or click on various points along that wall (for example, openings, interior walls, etc) to automatically place dimensions? 4. Dimensioning 3. If I draw a wall, then dimension, then stretch the wall, the dimension does not update to the new length. 5. Cleaning up walls. Where do I clean up wall joints - T and L intersections? 6. Magnetic snapping. This seems very inaccurate. It often does not accurately snap to corners. |
