Re: Can't get dimension lines to work Just before leaving work, I asked one of my coworkers about the software name he used and that helped him designing his new house. Sweet Home 3D, he said. I may use it for a 2D floor plan of my flat, I said. It may be painful for a so little use case, he answered. I did not want to believe him. After 2.5 hours of reading documentation and tries (with v2.4 from ubuntu repositories and v3.0 from download), I have the same feeling as Grant in post above : it just does not work as I expected. Here is my use case : I bought an old flat, and I did not get any blueprint of the 2D floor plan. I want to draw one. Without layout of furnitures. I measured the lengths of my walls, then did a little sketch-up in SH3D, and wanted to enter the walls' dimensions in the software. And this is where it is so painful, as explained in Grant's post above : you have to take into account the width of the walls and add half of the width to all measurements. I just want here to emphasize that the expected behavior explained by Grant is what I expected too, and I would like it to be implemented. |
