Re: Tablets and SH3D
Yes, this is exactly how I experienced using the tablet interface. I did buy a stylus, but it did not help me much. Precision better, yes, but less sensitivity when working in the 2D pane.
- Drawing walls with the finger is quite difficult to get accustomed to, because clicking and drag-and-drop operations works differently
This, I think, is the most problematic - unfamiliar gestures and no ESC key. The first walls, fine, but finishing the walls always seem to go wrong. Increasing magnetism sensibility (maybe adjustable?) might help. Maybe an "autocomplete" (like SVG z: back to origin)?

With all of the proposed approaches, I admit to some concern as to whether tablet improvements would sacrifice the normal interface (would not like bigger icons generally). But in conclusion - it is quite cool to be able to run SH3D directly on a tablet. And it works well for exploring the 3D view and simple rearranging of furniture...
