Re: New plugin: Advanced plan editing
Hi Hans,
we are talking about the same plugin, but not about the same actions (= menu items)
A plugin can have more than one action. So mine has three actions, two of them also available in the toolbar:
- Edit -> Resize (available in the toolbar) - Plan -> Edit room points (also available in the toolbar) - Plan -> Join walls (not available in the toolbar)
If you ask, why I didn't mentioned the menus in the plugin: The name depends on your locale. I thought if I talk about "actions", everything would be clear - but that seems to be "developer speak"
To your question 4: If you look at the rulers during changing the "justification" (or if you have something in your plan that is not selected), it should become more obvious how they work. You are selecting in which direction to grow or shrink, in other words these coordinates are the "fix point".
I hope, now that thats clear, I don't need to write a step by step tutorial

Re: New plugin: Advanced plan editing
Hmm, well I tried it on another computer and it works fine (almost). The only problem seems to be the "Join walls" does not join the nearest points on the selected walls. Instead it joins (I think) the endpoint of 1st wall to starting point of 2nd wall.
Also, it would be nice if input dimensions could be in feet too. And have "relative dimensions" in "Edit Points" dialogue.
All in all, a wonderful start though! I'd been hoping for some precision features like this for some time

Re: New plugin: Advanced plan editing
Hi maker,
as already described above, the "Join walls" function is working as expected. I renamed it to "Connect walls" in the new plugin version - hope that makes it more obvious.
What do you mean by "relative dimensions" in "Edit points"? The only dimension available there, is the length of the line. Or do you mean "relative positions" (e.g. according to the upper left corner)?
Changes: - Renamed "Join walls" -> "Connect walls" - Fixed problem in resizing when selected elements have zero height or width - Fixed usage of unit in resize dialog - Added preview panel to "Edit room points" for better visualization of points and edges

Re: New plugin version: Advanced plan editing 1.1
Hi starrunner,
I'm back to square one (my computer) with the plugin not working. (Maybe, somehow, Oracle Java installed by OpenOffice) is causing problems.) I tried opening the SH3D.jar kindly supplied by Puybaret from the console (commandline - is that right). But that does not give any message
For the moment I've given up on this - I can do editing in Blender/wings3d. I'll try again after 2-3 days. Thanks for your help
