Re: Move selection by an exact distance
As hansmex stated, use the Advanced Edit plugin. With that you can move all selected objects with great precision. It moves the exact distance you enter independend of the zoom level. For me it's the most used function in Sweethome3D. Even with the deepest zoom level you can only move 0.1 cm with the arrow keys. For a house that's fine but when you create furniture in SH3D that is often not precise enough. Using the Advanced Edit plugin you can go as small as 0.001 if you wanted to. Just don't move it with an arrow key until you have exported the furniture.
Bonus: it can move ANY object, including polylines, dimensions, walls, rooms, etc. So you can drag a selection square and move everything in the selection in one go.
