Feat. Req: Automatically measure all walls
Hi

I have used Roomarranger in the past. A great feature there is to automatically measure all walls - saves a lot of work.

Re: Feat. Req: Automatically measure all wall
Hi,

The tool "Create dimensions" has no dependence on an object, dimensions are totally free, so therefore the magnetism of these does not work on the walls.

This function is not provided in the near future.

Greeting,


Christian.

Re: Feat. Req: Automatically measure all walls
Hi,

If "measure" means something like total length of all walls or area wouldn't it be pretty easy to make a plugin and then just run from the menu ? i.e. like volumeplugin.

Something like ....

VolumnePlugin.java

public void execute() {
float volumeInCm3 = 0;
double wallLength = 0;
double totalWallLength = 0;
StringBuffer wallDimensionsMsg = new StringBuffer();

for (Wall wall : getHome().getWalls()){
if (wall.getXStart() == wall.getXEnd()) {
wallLength = wall.getYStart() - wall.getYEnd();
} else if (wall.getYStart() == wall.getYEnd()){
wallLength = wall.getXStart() - wall.getXEnd();
} else {
wallLength = Math.sqrt(Math.pow((wall.getXEnd()-wall.getXStart()),2)
+ (Math.pow((wall.getYEnd() - wall.getYStart()),2)));
}

// get rid of negative values
wallLength = ((wallLength < 0 ? -wallLength : wallLength));
totalWallLength+=wallLength;
wallDimensionsMsg.append("Wall: length " + wallLength + "\n");

wallDimensionsMsg.append(String.format(" Total wall length = %.2f cm", totalWallLength));
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, wallDimensionsMsg);
}

......

Output would be " Total wall length = 1455.00 cm"

Excuse me if I got the wrong end of the stick :)

mark
