Re: Sweet Home 3D 3.4
Thanks for the new version with multiple level feature! Great work!

I've made 3 level house, but the virtual visitor always view level 1, even the selected level is level 2 or 3.
I need to manually add the visitor elevation every time I want to see different level.
Is it possible to automatically add the visitor elevation based on the selected level? For example I set the eyes elevation to: 1.8m, when I'm virtual visit level 2, the eyes elevation automatically is set to 1.8m + the level elevation, in my case 4.25m, or when visit level 3, the eyes elevation = eyes elevation + level 3 elevation.
Visitor eyes elevation = 1.8m
When I virtual visit level 1, eyes elevation = 1.8m (1.8m+0m)
When I virtual visit level 2, eyes elevation = 6.05m (1.8m+4.25m)
When I virtual visit level 3, eyes elevation = 9.6m (1.8m+7.8m)

PS: not sure where should I mention about this, if this post should not belong here, pls move it to appropriate forum.

Thanks.

Paul,

Maybe you're looking for 3D view --> Store point of view and its sister command 3D view --> Go to point of view...?

Re: Moving virtual visitor when changing level

I wondered the same thing before releasing the new version. But it depends on how you use the level feature and the eyes elevation you chose. Maybe an additional Adjust visitor height when changing level option in the 3D modification pane (or in the future dialog that will allow to edit virtual visitor location and angle) would be nice?

Done

The best would even be in feature requests tracker.

Re: Moving virtual visitor when changing level
@Hans, thanks, that's quite helpful, at least if automatic adjust eyes elevation is not supported, I can live with this store point of view :)

@Puybaret, "Adjust visitor eyes elevation when changing level" would be great! :) (this option is the same thing like what I request isn't it?)
And thanks for moving this post to appropriate place :)

Yes, but the user could disable or enable it according to his needs.

Re: Moving virtual visitor when changing level
Great!
For now I can use store point of view :)

Also another thing, still related to 3d view.
When in Aerial View, the center is always on the 1st level.
I made 3 levels, and it's always view the first one as the center.
It's difficult for me to view the 3rd level.
For 3 level still viewable, if someone made 10 level, I don't think aerial view can see the top level anymore.
