Re: Set walls by interior dimensions?
Hi Hans,
Thanks for the reply. I went through old posts and foud this question being raised over and over again, especially by new users, and I hoped that there was some solution developed that I'm missing.
If not, I'll try to suggest one:
I would like to be able to enter e.g. "Easy drawing mode".
In that mode I would draw one room first. Then SH3D would draw all the walls around it (default thickness, defined under properties).
Then I would adjust thicknesses of each of those walls, and walls would stick to the room floor, not creating gaps like now.
Then I would like to draw another room adjacent to the one just created. The process would be the same except for the wall between those two rooms. In "Easy drawing mode" it should not be possible to change thickness of the walls between two rooms (it's assumed that it's already being adjusted, and also it would confuse SH3D not knowing towards which room to move the wall).
I would go that way from room to room until finished.
For average flats with rectangular rooms it should be fairly easy.
In "Easy drawing mode" walls would stick to the rooms so you could easyly move them.
Once initial drawing is finished I would exit "Easy drawing mode" and return to standard mode which is how it behaves right now.
There I would be able to make fine adjustments, if needed, and finish designing.
Does that make sense?

Also, I see no reason why room dimensions should not be precise. Especially if you're decorating kitchen where cabinets are of standard widths and there should be no gap between them and the walls.
Making a few centimeters difference in kichen size can make large difference (gap appears, or cabinets cannot fit).
