Re: Lock to 90 degree when drawing the forth edge of a room
Hans:
Knubbi precised "finish" in his sentence and he's right, there's no visual feedback to help you click at the 4th point of a room if you want it to be rectangular.
In the facts, I was wrong in my first answer, there's even no alignment feedback if the last point of that rectangle isn't aligned with something else in the plan. At this moment, the only help you have is the tooltip that gives you the length of the side you're currently drawing. In real life (if you're drawing a real room or surface with lengths not chosen by chance), that mustn't be so annoying, since you'll just have to select the same length as the one you chose for the first side.
Knubbi, note again that the user's guide and the help propose to create first walls, then rooms with double-clicks in the surfaces surrounded by walls, because a room created with a double click will include the half doorstep of each door placed on its walls. If you follow these advices, this missing feature won't bother you at all.
