I cannot see the color of the rooms when rooms overlap. Why? Is there a way to tell which room is on top? I ask this because when I created the perimeter walls of the building, I automatically created a room covering the whole building. Then I created the interior walls and within multiple rooms. I thought these rooms sit on top of the big whole building room. But when I try to color the floor of these individual rooms, the color of the whole building room takes precedence, so basically the color or texture of the individual rooms cannot be seen, I still see the color of the building room Thanks |

Re: I cannot see the color of the rooms when rooms overlap. Why? Overlapping rooms are displayed in the order they are created. In the 3D view, the result is that the most recent room will cut the oldest rooms as in the attached example. ----------------------------------------

Re: I cannot see the color of the rooms when rooms overlap. Why? You'll always see overlapping rooms In the plan view because rooms are displayed with half transparency there. The rule in the 3D view is different. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

The rule in the 3D view is different. The problem is on plan view, not 3D Half transparency works good for rooms, drowen outside the walls or at least partly, with one angle outside (red ! on picture). Other rooms fully transparent, it is quite annoying problem when try to show how the building is situated on the garden plot.  |

Re: I cannot see the color of the rooms when rooms overlap. Why? If the mixing of rooms colors / textures doesn't give a good result, you should draw a garden which doesn't include the house surface. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: I cannot see the color of the rooms when rooms overlap. Why? I tried draw garden around the house, but there are extra lines arise in plan view, and after each move or rotation of garden to change house position you need to correct garden nodes. That,s why I prefer my method from message http://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/view...,11526_lastpage,yes#53633 If all rooms behave on plan view similarly, with half transparency, regardless of whether they are drawn inside or outside the walls contour - in would be very nice and predictable. |

Re: I cannot see the color of the rooms when rooms overlap. Why? Ok I got it. Actually there are two bugs. The first one doesn’t update the plan drawing when the user changes the visibility of the floor or ceiling of a room. The second one is about the sort order in which floors and ceilings should be drawn. I’m going to fix them. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: I cannot see the color of the rooms when rooms overlap. Why? Sorry guys, but what you say, that most recent room will cut the oldest rooms it's not true, and I can prove it. Problem is reproducible. I deleted all rooms and created them in order, the room that I want to be below first then the smaller rooms that I want to be on top later. I applied different textures but still the older, larger room appeared on top covering the smaller ones, created later. You should have a right click menu option "bring up" or bring down |

Re: I cannot see the color of the rooms when rooms overlap. Why? The bug about rooms order drawing was fixed in version 7.0. Rooms are now drawn in the order they were added when they have the visibilities of their floor / ceiling are the same, and if they are different the ceilings are always drawn after the floors (said another way, a room with an invisible floor and a visible ceiling will be drawn after a room with a visible floor and an invisible ceiling). More predictable drawing results are nice but this fix may lead to undesired changes in the rendering of existing plans as reported by sjb007, where the ceiling of a room might darken too much the floor of the room below it. Maybe I'll use a lighter gray to draw rooms which have only their ceiling visible. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |
