Re: dimensions on height or 3d view

Logically the answer is placing an object with known dimensions in the plan that will show dimensions in the 3D view, e.g. like this: SF SH3D 3D model 326. Silly, I know, but I use it from time to time. ok

but I don't think that's a proper way to show to the workers & contractors. is there any other way to measure dimensions on 3d?

Re: dimensions on height or 3d view

FYI: And if it is any consolation, there is a feature request on this (484). The issue occasionally comes up in the forum - e.g. 5498: Lateral view of indoor walls and 5416: House designed with Sweet Home 3D.

ok

Re: dimensions on height or 3d view

Has a side view with dimensions been implemented?
It would be very handy to measure from for building.
I do not know the complications of grouping and rotating the plan view 90 degrees in X or Y, and then adding the dimensions.

Perhaps you may try my plugins:

Please note that 3D dimension lines plugin has been released with SH3D 7.2, there are known problems with later versions.

Re: dimensions on height or 3d view

Thank you very much.
I have version 7.2 available and will use the plug in. Had gone to 7.5.

Re: dimensions on height or 3d view

From version 7.2 we have elevation dimensions which will appear in Side View plugin 1.1.

Re: dimensions on height or 3d view

All dimensions can be displayed in 3D view. Doubleclick on the dimension line opens the "Modify dimension" window. Select whether it is a Plan dimension or an Elevation dimension and whether the dimension line is visible or not in the 3D view.To have a printable document you must use Side View and save in *.png format. Selecting the view you want depends on the camera angle in the virtual visit (0, 90, 180, 270 degrees).
