A couple of questions
Hi,
I just started using Sweet Home 3D and first let me say thanks, I love this program.

I did ran into a couple of problems for which I hope someone has some ideas how to solve...

  • I have an opening in a wall which is from the floor but not all the way to the ceiling. Is there a way to model openings in the wall or do I have to simply not put a wall there and then create some furniture which starts at an elevation?

  • Is it possible to group objects and save them as a group (as opposed to multiple select?) I saw that grouping is something which was added in version 2 but I am not sure if it is limited to multiple select.

  • while on the subject of group, is there a way to rotate and scale a group (either in selection or as a saved group if available)?

  • Somehow I managed to create copies of an entire area. Could someone point me as to what are the keys for that (so I'll be more careful) and if there is a way to find out where it happened (other than start moving walls and see if another is beneath them)?

  • I need to make a round wall. I saw in the FAQ that currently it is only possible as a large number of small walls. I was wondering what effect if any would be to simply create a furniture instead of the wall and if there is such a furniture ready where I can download and use it or do I have to create one myself (and if so any suggestion on how to do it without having to learn too much...)

  • Is there a way to set the default texture of walls and furniture (instead of white) or do I have to add them each time?

  • I have many walls in an angle. I saw that it is possible to see and change the angle when creating the wall, is there a way to do it when the wall is already created (other than calculating the angle manually and then setting the position accordingly)?

  • Also with walls in an angle, sometimes windows and doors do not snap to a wall in an angle (even when the magnetism is enabled). Is there a way to manually do it?

  • When I do measurements in my house I measure the inside of the walls but when I create a wall in sweet home I enter the full length (which is from the middle of the adjacent walls). Now if I am on the grid it is easy to calculate, is there an easy way to do it for angled walls also?

  • Is there a way to manually connect/disconnect walls? Currently I can only connect walls when I initially create them and I don't know how to disconnect them later if I need to.

  • Does someone know if there is a model of a sliding door somewhere?

Sorry for the long post, I hope someone knows some answers/tips for me.
Thanks.
