ANSWER(S)
0 - Don't compare SH3D with $1000 professional CAD software. It's not CAD software, not intended to be, nor claiming to be. It has clear limitations when used for architectural design (no elevations, no cross-sections).
1 - Exact wall length: click for the first point, then on the keyboard hit ENTER, in the pop-up window you can enter exact length, angle and thickness.
2 - Dim1 - Don't measure the corner, measure the wall? Maybe more explanation is needed...
3 - Dim2 - No
4 - Dim3 - No, dimensions do not auto-update
5+6 - Learn to use the program? The program uses "magnetism" which gives visual clues as to what will happen when you click. You may need to learn what to watch out for. There's several types of cross-hairs and extension lines that indicate that you can connect two wall sections, eliminating the need for time consuming clean-up afterwards.
