confused   printing option : is it possible to hide the furniture
Hello,

When I print a level of the house, there are three printing options I can (des)activate:

  • print list of all pieces of furniture
  • print the top view (2D)
  • print the bottom view (3D)

does the option "print without furniture" exist ?
I may be helpful when I want to skip all existing furniture to get only the rooms', doors', walls' measures on my printed PDF.

Hi,

I think that there is no option available.

But you can select the furniture in left frame and with a right click of the mouse on this selection, choose 'modify furniture' and you click on 'visible' option (or not) in the window.

Nothing has been lost... smile

One trick that can be useful is locking the plan (little pad-lock) and select everything and delete (temporarily). When the plan is locked, walls, floors and furniture marked 'Part of base plan" (like most windows and doors) will not be selected. ok

Why too dangerous? Sweet Home 3D never saves a file by itself.
And if you're not enough confident in yourself to avoid overwriting a file, you can save the file after doing this.

An other way could be to create a level at same elevation where you'll cut paste all the stuff you don't want to print. Then when you want to print, just make that level not viewable, and make it viewable back once done.

Re: printing option : is it possible to hide the furniture
Thanks Mr Puybaret for your answer.
I was thinking about creating a new feature request regarding this printing option, but i already found 4 open feature requests which handle this point, therefore i will do nothing.

#446 Option to export "pure" floor plan (walls, doors, windows)
https://sourceforge.net/p/sweethome3d/feature-requests/446/

#549 Imprimer sans les meubles
https://sourceforge.net/p/sweethome3d/feature-requests/549/

#691 Allow grouping and hiding dimensions just like furniture.
https://sourceforge.net/p/sweethome3d/feature-requests/691/

#754 : #754 Hide ALL furniture on print
https://sourceforge.net/p/sweethome3d/feature-requests/754/

Deleting is often dangerous, even temporaly.

Like error is human or a fast cut of electricity... sad

Simpliest is (I think) my solution (to read again). smile
