Re: Automatic dimensions addition
@mulanee

my bad. it never even occurred to me that the dimensions weren't listed and addressable in the dialogue box as they are for created walls, albeit the whole "room" concept is a little alien to me compared to other CAD experience.

ironically, you can get the room to display square footage, but not dimensions. given that the room could be any kind of polygon, in theory, I guess simple dimensioning doesn't apply universally. albeit you'd think that rectangular might be some kind of default measure and or that the two or several greatest dimensions could be listed.

@keet if i'm feeling brave i'll try a plug in sometime. haven't done that before. if someone has the facility to write one that colors walls in 2D, that would be the handiest problem solver for me at the moment. not sure how addressable that attribute is. or maybe even colors that correspond to a pattern choice so you're not really creating a new function.

It is a little work although the snap too is reasonably useful with the dimensions and you could create another level for dimensions and make it visible when you need it?
