Re: Exact Wall Alignment Issues Walls have a thickness so no matter how you look at it you will always have an offset. Start what part at 0.0? The outside top corner of the wall? The inside top corner? If you start a side of the wall at 0 then the other side has an offset as the wall thickness. So you always have two numbers. The way walls are calculated with the center you only have to deal with two X,Y values for a wall, not four. Which damage would it do to anyone if there was an option to say "start the wall centered, at the left edge or the right edge" if the default stays at centered? That way, everybody who does not want the feature could work as he always did and everyone who wants to use the feature could use it. Apparently, several people feel the need for it since it seems to be a recurring question - and other floor plan software suites offer it for years already. So far, I rarely saw anyone complaining about an option he was given as long as it is implemented in a way that does not force anyone to use it. What is the importance of starting the first wall at 0.0? To have the outer length of the house aligned with the 0.0 mark on the grid so that you do not have to keep in mind that part of the length is outside of 0.0. this excellent explanation from Dorin: https://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,9807#46003 Thanks for the link, I will look more closely at it and try to follow his instructions. |
