Re: Align the walls That would make the copy/paste/move option exactly what is needed. For the multiple wall layers it's important to know how walls are measured in Sweet Home 3D. In this case the wall thickness of each layer is important. The X and Y coordinates are the coordinates for the center of each end of the wall. This means that the left side of a 10cm vertical wall is at X-5 and the right side is at X+5. For a horizontal wall use the Y coordinates. So if you have a wall 10 thick and paste a copy at the exact same position you move that copy 10 to align them side by side. But if you paste a copy and change the thickness to 5 you have to move the wall (10÷2)+(5÷2)=7.5 to align them against each other (half of each wall). You can add 7.5 to both X coordinates for a vertical wall and both Y coordinates for a horizontal wall or use the Move function from the AdvancedEdit plugin. If you want a gap between the walls you add the gap width to the number you calculated. You can change the top pattern for each wall to see the different layers in the 2Dview. For the 3Dview you can set a different color. This is useful if you align walls side by side against each other. Without changing the pattern and color it will just look like a single thick wall. It's also a good way to mark walls, insulation, etc throughout the full plan. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
