Rotate plan plug-in Good Morning, I have attempted to download the rotate plan plug-in from the PDF, but to no avail. I only get an HTML file (files.html) in the list of downloads in my browser. The file is not executable. Can you give me any pointers as to how otherwise I could download the plug-in? Much appreciated and thank you.  Trevor |

Re: Rotate plan plug-in Many thanks for your reply. I tried the link, but it doesn't work. I just get "Files.html" when klicking on the link. I am using Win 11 with the latest updates. Maybe this Windows version doesn't allow me to open the file. |

Re: Rotate plan plug-in Where are you clicking? You have to scroll down to the Michel MBEM's message on 2009-05-24 and click on "RotateHomePlugin.zip" link. Anyway, here is the direct link: RotateHomePlugin.zip After you extract the archive you will find the plugin under RotateHomePlugin\dist\ folder. |

Re: Rotate plan plug-in I downloaded this plug in, where do I find it when I'm working in my plan? |

Re: Rotate plan plug-in You will find 2 new items under the Plan menu:
Please note that item names differ if you set the language to French. |

Re: Rotate plan plug-in Many thanks for all the inputs to my question. I managed to download the plug-in and installed into Sweethome 3d. The programme returned a message saying that the plug-in will be activated at the next start of Sweethome. This, however is not the case. It is not visible in the Plan menue after relaunching the programme. I am using 6.6.1 from the MS store. |

Re: Rotate plan plug-in This could happen for 2 reasons: a) Your language isn't English nor French, so the new items are not under the "Plan" equivalent menu in your language, but in the "Plan" menu (yes, in English). For example in Italian "Plan" is named "Piano", but the rotate items are added to a new menu entry called "Plan":  b) Your screen is too small to accommodate the new items under the Plan menu, so they fall off the screen:  You can reduce the system wide content size by right-clicking the desktop and choosing "screen settings", then choose a lower value for the content size:  Now the items are shown:  |

Re: Rotate plan plug-in I couldn't rotate the plan successfully. There is Plan Rotator. From this PDF it seems was by mickey2 (couldn't find it on plugins page, or here or anywhere). Not present on Plugin Manager with that name. But is identical to Home Rotator Plugin by Michel MBEM, packed by this user here. On my test on v1.2 took a couple of minutes (only uses one CPU core) and doesn't rotate polylines (couldn't find if there is an open bug (I wish the project would move to github/gitlab.. and to Discourse, and a modern website :P)). [Note from moderator: fixed the author name of Home Rotator Plugin] |

Re: Rotate plan plug-in Alternative: •Install the Advanced Edit plugin. •In the Edit menu select "Select all at all levels" •Use the rotate function (same menu or in the toolbar) It will rotate everything selected on all levels, including polylines (I'm not sure but I don't think a background image is included in the rotation since it's not a selectable item.) ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |

Re: Rotate plan plug-in Thanks Keet! All unviewable levels and furniture not flagged as visible are not selected, therefore not rotated. If I manually select all furniture from the list, I end with something completely broken. I wish SH3D had taggable/alternative branches for levels. Sometimes I want to see different decoration paths, or to see the BEFORE/AFTER on the same project. That's why I heavily use the furniture visibility flag. The Home Rotator (AKA Plan Rotator?) Plugin seems the best approach. I filed this bug report about the polyline issue. |

Re: Rotate plan plug-in Of course. The Advanced Edit plugin rotation, moving, etc. works on everything selected. If a level is unviewable the objects can't be selected and thus will not be included in the rotation. I'm not sure about the status of the Home Rotate plugin concerning the background image or rotating unviewable levels. I know the AE plugin rotates everything selected: walls, furniture, rooms, polylines, dimensions, etc. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |

Re: Rotate plan plug-in For my personal use I've updated the plugin with the polylines rotation. It was not a big deal. I still have a problem with the background image rotation, but I will (probably) fix it. or to see the BEFORE/AFTER on the same project. To toggle from visible to invisible multiple items I use multiple levels at same elevation with different furniture in it and toggle the level visibility. Only to see the home from different positions you don't need to rotate the hole home. Move the visitor and store the point of view. If you need a specific orientation of building you don't need to rotate the hole home. Rotate only the compass to indicate the correct orientation. @Keet How this plugin works on your side? I'm interested about background image. ---------------------------------------- A computer program does what you tell it to do, not what you want it to do.

Re: Rotate plan plug-in @Keet I don't use the Rotate Plan plugin. I rarely need to rotate the whole plan and when I do I use the method I described using the Advanced Edit plugin. Since I also don't use background images that works perfectly fine for me.How this plugin works on your side? I'm interested about background image. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |

Re: Rotate plan plug-in @Michel MBEM I'm very sorry for this but again I've don't ask You for permission. It is not really my job but I've made some modifications to this plugin. You could find it on Source Forge as RotateHome-1.3 I've try to update this plugin and I've added: - support for polylines - support for multiple levels - some corrections for rotated items Be carefully: it is full of bugs, so use it with care! ---------------------------------------- A computer program does what you tell it to do, not what you want it to do.
