How to mark area?
I want to to mark various places in 2D plan with polygons of different colors. I think, this idea is the same as room, but I don't understand how to realize this. How to do this?

If i will add new room to plan and change it color, it will be displayed at 3d plan, but I want to display polygon only in 2d plan, same as text label.
Sorry for my English and thank you for your answer.

Ilya,
You could use the room tool to draw a "room" (without ceiling) in the shape of a polygon and give it the desired colour. You could then export/import that polygon and use it as a piece of furniture.
You could also search the Sketchup Warehouse for a model that suits you.

It will be require do this work each time when i need to make a mark. I think to add new button near "Create rooms" which call method the same as room creating. My question is how to do an object like room, but without displaying it in 3dview. May be it possible to add some properties to Room class, or write another class, for example MarkArea, but SweetHome 3D is sufficiently large to understand it fully.

Ilya,
Maybe this solves your problem: - Draw the desired shape with walls - Make the walls very thin and very low - Apply a transparent texture on both sides of the walls (see attached file)
- You can export/import the shape, then use it like any other model.
NOTE It will show up in the 2D preview. It will also show up in the 3D preview. It will show up in low quality render. (setting 1 or 2) It will NOT show up in high quality render. (setting 3 or 4)
