Re: 3D dimension lines plugin
Good morning Daniels118, I have recently started using plugins and I ran into a couple of problems using your plugin. The first problem has to do when I generate an ordinary measurement in any part of the house, that is, I generate a line that measures 100cm and I double left click to fix the line in place, but the problem arises when I accidentally double left click while near or above the previously generated line. And what happens is that the number zero appears and it no longer generates more measurements, regardless of which part of the house you click on, the number zero will always appear. The second problem appears as a consequence of the first problem, all the objects in the house I can move freely in the 2d plane, but in the 3d plane they appear in the same place as if it were some kind of bug in the system. And one more thing, how do I delete a measurement line? I have only been able to delete a wrong line by clicking the undo button, but I don't know if there is another way to do it. ________________________________________________________ If anyone who manages this forum sees this message, I'm letting you know that you can't log in from Microsoft Edge, with the Chrome browser I had no problem logging in.

Re: 3D dimension lines plugin
@IvanDiaz I will try to reproduce the problem. If there is a bug, it is likely that it could break the 3D view until you restart the program.
To delete a dimension line from the 3D view you must have the 3D dimension line tool enabled, move the mouse over one of the control points of the dimension line while holding CTRL+SHIFT (the cursor will display a red minus symbol), then just click to remove the line. The control points are the 2 ends of the dashed lines, and the middle of the continuous line.
The Help menu has an entry where you can find all modifier keys and use tips.

Re: 3D dimension lines plugin
@daniels118 I see that this thread is a little stale, but according to the plug-in help file, this is the correct place to post issues.
I installed this plugin with the hopes of adding dimensions to the 3D view of my house drawing. All I have been successful in doing is getting super frustrated. I watched the two videos showing how to use the tool, and yet I still struggle to get a single dimension. I watch a section of the video, pause, try to replicate, and fail every time. The very first click to start the dimension results in nothing happening or another item being selected. I tried using both videos. With the tracing paper and without it. Same result.
I have used AutoCAD in a commercial environment for over 25 years, so I was hoping this tool would be easy to use. So far, that isn't the case. I think I saw a post where you told another person that the tool hasn't been tested against the current version of SweetHome 3D. If that is true, are there plans to do this or fix any possible issues? I would be willing to supply my current drawing file for testing if that helps.

Re: 3D dimension lines plugin
@CoffinBound I know there are bugs using the plugin with the latest versions of SweetHome3D. I haven't had the time to fix them, so the only chance is to use the native dimension lines, or downgrade SweetHome3D to a previous version (7.0 should work fine). Keep in mind that native dimension lines can be placed vertically using the edit dialog.

Re: 3D dimension lines plugin
@Daniels118 Thanks for the prompt response. I was afraid that was going to be the response. I guess I will just have to try downgrading my software. Here's to hoping time presents itself to allow for the fixing of these issues. I rather like the software, minus its few aggravating processes and shortcomings. But I will chalk most of that up to me being a noob.

If you let us know what those are (in a new thread) then we can either clarify why certain things work as they do or explain how to solve your other problems.
