Re: How can I make a wall keep the measure without the wall itself? Hello, First of all, thank you for this great piece of software. I have tried using SH3D for creating floorplans for 2 houses so far however always seem to get stuck trying to set exact dimensions with variable wall thickness. I try to transform an existing floorplan on paper into SH3D. I cannot use the image as a background and overlay walls on them, I want dimensions to be exact and the existing paper is warped and has bad quality (copies of copies). So I try to go by the dimensions specified on the existing paper. However, it seems impossible to do this with the current interface unless I am missing something fundamental. Let me explain the simplest use case below, so hopefully somebody can provide some feedback on this: I draw a rectangular area, then select the wall cursor and double click on the area, the walls are automatically created surrounding the area. One of the walls needs to have a different thickness, so I edit the wall and change the thickness. The wall now changed thickness but does not adhere to the area anymore. It is still connected to the other 2 walls and joins them at their ends, leaving some empty space between the area and the wall with reduced thickness. So I'm kinda stuck here (problem 1); I know I can move the wall, but how to to make it adhere exactly to the area again without having to make manual calculations (area right x coordinate(wich is not present) + wall thickness / 2 ?) ? Is that how it is supposed to work? Note that there does not seem to be magnetism or visual alignment indicators when moving the wall manually to the area. I hope this is somewhat clear, any help would be appreciated. Thanks |
