Re: Dimensions - sizing accurately The point you are raising is interesting. Old houses can be a challenge. And your approach is good, get it right first time around. Good news is that working with accurate measurements in SH3D is pretty easy once you get used to it. I usually distribute evenly first from a sensible starting point (typically co-ordinates 0,0 for the corner) and then modify the accurate position for each window, joist, door etc. Then double- and triple-check all measurements and angles on my initial plan. While the process can be a pain, getting it right does pay off later. But I have also cursed myself for putting too much effort into detail. Tricky balance. Must have taken me an hour to find a lost 60mm in one corner of a basement. As it turns out, the foundation was not straight (while the construction on top was). Slightly less than one degree off, but enough to play havoc with my planning. But that little detail I am very glad I found out sooner rather than later. Without the sort of meticulous planning you are doing, extra construction time is often the result. So it is usually worth the initial frustration. Good luck. ok |
