Re: My own home (as is) Some good advice in this thread. I finally spent the last couple of days starting detailed drawings that will, hopefully, underpin both a Building Control/Planning application (renovation/extension) here in the UK. The property site has a significant slope (stepped foundations) and, relatively technical, damp-proofing measures will need to be clearly depicted/commented - vertical sections (Display side view tool), for example, must show location of outer cavity/inner cavity/inner wall(s) damp proof course locations and varying finished floor screed levels for post processing in Inkscape. I already have 13 SH3D levels in the drawing, comprising: 7 (wall) template levels at elev 0 (to be repetitively copied as wall structure grows higher) 6 "actual" levels (one at elev 0, two at elev 150, one at elev 765, one at elev 822 and one at elev 915. These 6 levels are a mixture of 5 wall levels and a single room based level in order to generate a downward screed from it and upward extending tassle wall/suspended wooden floor furniture. At the minute the whole existing structure is (largely) complete to the top of the highest foundation level in the property (I plan to draw the higher level damp proof courses as 1mm walls and the different levels of existing oversite screeds as 75mm floors). The biggest single challenge faced, so far, is traversing the tabbed menu level list to identify relevant levels (e.g. when selecting a particular template level to copy from/to). Something like the "Modify level" dialog could be useful (e.g. picking an item from an ordered list would resulting in that tab level being activated) but, even then, the level Names I use are long in order to provide context and the name field in such a dialog list would need to display the entire length. I guess the following could help a little to simply traverse the entire SH3D tabbed levels in the normal menu: http://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,5899_offset,52#25845 storm88, you can already switch from a layer to another with the keyboard arrows when the focus is on plan tabs. I guess you would prefer direct shortcuts, but using Tab / Shift + Tab keys combination to change focused component isn't too hard. but, shift+tab here only seems to iterate through plan/3d view/furniture only (maybe i'm missing a trick?) If anyone has a strategy for traversing a large tabbed level list, which doesn't feel so much like my current "herding cats" one, i'd be interested to know. |
