Re: Suggestions from a newbie 1. On the 2D layout, when you rotate a piece of furniture, rotate the furniture name with it. The name moves with the furniture so it should rotate with it. - Not possible. Workaround: use text. 2.On the 2d layout offer options to left justify, right, justify, justify top, justify bottom and center the furniture name within the furniture outline. - Select the items to justify/align. Click FURNITURE and select one of 11 options of justification/alignment. 5. Allow the changing of each color of multi-colored imported furniture. - Select model, then MODIFY. The option MATERIALS allow you to change colour or texture of individual parts. NOTE: only works if the model has parts with distinct colours/textures. 6. Add a measurement tool that just tells you the distance between to points but doesn't put down dimensions. - Use DIMENSIONS, then delete them? 7. Add snap to grid with an enable/disable for drawing walls. Though not all walls are at right angles, most are. - When you draw walls using the mouse, walls will snap to 15 degree angles. In PREFERENCES enable/disable MAGNETISM, or use ALT+SHIFT to temorarily disable magnetism. 8. Add snap to bo(a)rder when placing furniture on the 2D layout. This allows for easily putting objects adjacent to each other. - When you select a model, one of the bordering lines is thicker: this is the "front" of the model. The line opposite the thick line is the back that will stick to the wall. - When using ALIGN (see above) models will align side-to-side. A vertical series of models will (generally) not align correctly. Put them in a horizontal line, then ALIGN, GROUP and rotate. 9. All of your furniture exists in squares that only have a width and depth. This doesn't work for corner desks which have a length to the far wall and a length to the near wall for both sides of the desk. - Not clear what you mean. Model dimensions can be changed. 10. Add a periodic automatic backup to allow for system crashes. - Check out the PREFERENCES pane. You can set the interval. 11. For positioning windows allow for editing the distance of the windows from either wall. Similar to modify wall but with the additional parameters of distance to the ends of the wall on both sides. This allows for easier positioning of the window long the wall. - When inserting windows/doors guides appear that show distances to edges. Not perfect, but helpful. 13. Allow for a furniture name to be 2 lines or more. Sometimes the name will not fit on the outline in a single like or diagonal. - Using TEXT will give you more options. 15. When on the 2D layout have some way of noting which side of the outline is considered front. - See #8. It helps to familiarize yourself with software a bit longer than 10 hours before asking so many questions...
