Re: Wall width does not match the entered width 3. I also read on the forum I could do rooms and then double click to add walls. I also tried that but seems this is a bit buggy and some artifacts are added and this also is not usable. Reported this here A bit buggy? I never encountered this and use it quite often without any problems.How do You think I should approach doing walls from a already existing project? How to You do yours? First of all, Sweet Home 3D is NOT Drawing, 3D modelling, or CAD software. Don't expect it to have the same features and/or procedures. The smallest unit is 1mm which should be more than sufficient for interior design and drawing a floorplan. It can use smaller sizes but the displayed values will be rounded to 1 decimal (0.1 cm). I have never seen a floorplan that uses wall measurements smaller than 0.5cm. You simply can't pour concrete to an exact mm size.I thought some YT guys could show me but they alwasy draw something, which they do not to be acurate (to cm) and that is okay but that is not what I need. You have to understand how the length of a wall relates to the distance between the end-points of a wall depending on the wall thicknesses. Once you get that it's very simple to accurately draw walls with a know length. The easiest is to click once where your wall starts and drag a little in the direction the wall should go. Press <enter> and you can enter the exact distance between end-points, press enter again to set this length. Move the mouse for the next wall in the direction it needs to go and press <enter> to set that length. Rinse and repeat until you have all your walls. Remember that you you are working with distance-between-end-points, not the length of the inside or outside of the wall. (That is the reason that the center line is used: it removes the difference between inside and outside length which can only be certain for outside walls. It is a value that remains the same when you change the thickness of connected walls.) Install the AdvancedEdit plugin if you haven't already done this. It's an essential plugin that makes moving, rotating, etc much easier and works on any object in your 2D plan. It makes moving a wall a specific distance much easier. For a floorplan it is often easier to draw the room and use the double-click to create the walls. At least for some of the walls.
