Re: 2D view, and some annoyances In the past I have used GIMP which is quite a bit more tedious. Also used Blender one point many years ago, and again very tedious. And that is kind of the theme for most other option. Inkscape looks interesting but I run Linux, only, so it requires using it with WINE and sometimes that is easy and sometime not. It's once every 10 or 15 years one is looking to build or remodel and so spending a bunch on something I will use for a week or 2 seems wasteful also. Yea..... using metric... Back to my the first paragraph in the OP. Replace the word "layout" with the word "metric". And add a sentence about the contractor caving in my skull. I was trying to get 2 other "floor plan" programs to work, prior to this one, and they both also had a "point" unit option. If I used "1000 pt" per foot it was easy to translate that for showing dimensions. The points unit was born for the computer era, so it's really the measurement system for the 21 century. Both those other programs had some difficult quirks. But the one thing that I did like was all the 2D images. They are important as it allows one to make sure they are allowing enough room in the layout for how you are looking to using the space. And really the image isn't that important as long as you have some way to represent the object in the layout. All the current objects are just a 2D shapes with a picture. Allowing one to change the picture, to one I made (or even found), would be about all that is needed. Most of the code is there just need the option added to change the picture. |
