Re: Pan tool in 3D and 2D view?
I also get no new window trying to open a second plan. For me, exiting the original window terminates SH3D completely, and I can then open a new instance without having to kill an existing process. This behaviour is in Windows 10.
I captured some stack trace from the logging plugin:
DimensionLineEx3DFactory added successfully Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" javax.media.j3d.CapabilityNotSetException: LineAttributes: no capability to set line width at javax.media.j3d.LineAttributes.setLineWidth(LineAttributes.java:239) at it.ld.sh3dplugins.pan3dview.View3DEnhancerImpl$14.<init>(View3DEnhancerImpl.java:156) at it.ld.sh3dplugins.pan3dview.View3DEnhancerImpl.<init>(View3DEnhancerImpl.java:154) at it.ld.sh3dplugins.pan3dview.Pan3dViewImpl.init(Pan3dViewImpl.java:134) at it.ld.sh3d.devtoolkit.DynamicPluginLoader.init(DynamicPluginLoader.java:218) at com.eteks.sweethome3d.plugin.PluginManager.getPlugins(Unknown Source) at com.eteks.sweethome3d.plugin.HomePluginController.getPlugins(Unknown Source) at com.eteks.sweethome3d.swing.HomePane.<init>(Unknown Source)

Re: Pan tool in 3D and 2D view?
Daniels118, very nice tool, thank you!
My humble wishes: - it would cose to find all the control keys for the plugin in one space, for example in Pan 3D view settings/about
- as for my needs in the context of 3d implementation, I need some way to put horizontal and vertical dimensions visible in 3D, to screenshot the task for electricians, tilers, to graphically specify openings (size and placing) for projecters, etc.
Like here (now to do this I am to export the frame to Sketchup)

Re: Pan tool in 3D and 2D view?
@Gildaniel I'm thinking of a entry in the help menu. About the projection mode, I think it could be useful to have an on/off button on the toolbar too. They will come in the next release.
About vertical dimension lines, this is already possible as you may have seen in my last post on the Roof plugin thread. I have to find the time to make a video tutorial. For the moment, you may follow these steps:
Install Pan3D view and 3D dimension lines plugins.
you will trace the dimension lines on this sheet, so you have to put it in front of what you want to measure. You may enlarge or shrink it if required.
select the sheet, press TAB to focus the 3D view, then press CTRL+J and CTRL+K to align the camera to the sheet.
Use CTRL+mouse wheel to zoom, and middle mouse button to pan the 3D view. If you accidentally rotate the camera, just repeat the previous step to get the camera aligned again.
use the 3D dimension lines plugin to draw vertical lines on the sheet (you can learn how to use it from the help menu).
For the moment 3D dimension lines are only visible in the 3D view, not using the photo creation tool, so the only way to export them as a picture is to grab a screenshot of the 3D view. If you wish to overcome this limitation, please upvote the ticket #1142.

@Daniels118,
Unfortunately, I didn't manage to put the dimension lines according to the instructions in the help. Sometimes nothing happens when clicking on an object, sometimes it shows 0.00
I think, video tutorial is good idea for this whole mechanism to demonstrate

Re: Pan tool in 3D and 2D view?
@Gildaniel I don't face the same issue, however please update the 3D dimension lines plugin to the version 3.2, it has important bug fixes and enhancements. I have created a basic video tutorial, a more advanced one will come in the next days, you will find the link on the 3D dimension lines thread. Please use the dedicated thread for furhter support.

Re: Pan tool in 3D and 2D view?
Version 4.0 beta This version is compatible with SweetHome3D 7.2. It hasn't been tested with previous versions (anyway I don't see any reason to make it compatible with previous versions).
New features and fixes: - You can change the way objects move when dragging in 3D view (from menu 3D view->Pan 3D View settings) - You can edit the selection in 3D view using CTRL+E (other than double click) - Reduced plugin size
Download from SourceForge.
