How to extend the plan I'd like to expand the plan to cover the entire property and add a small building, but don't know how to accomplish that. Am I missing that fucntion? Thanks! |

Re: How to extend the plan Initially a plan doesn't have scrollbars but if you drag a random object to the left, right, top, and bottom the 2D view will expand and scrollbars will appear. I'm not sure what the limit is but your plan will probably be limited by the number of objects and buildings your computer can handle before the actual area will become a problem. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |

Re: How to extend the plan Thanks. It seems I can safely select all objects and move them altogether away from the top left - but not the background image. Is there a trick for that? |

Re: How to extend the plan Some advise: Install the plugin manager. Read about it here. Use it to install the Advanced Edit plugin. It will add several functions in the toolbar that you will use often. You can move your whole plan like this: menu Edit > Select all on all levels and then use the move functions to move the whole plan. If you want to move just a part of your plan over multiple levels you will have to do this for each level separately. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |

Re: How to extend the plan It's either a problem with your internet connection or just temporary. I have no problem reaching that URL. Anyway, you can download the plugin from sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/p/sweethome3d/plug-ins/44/ . ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |

Re: How to extend the plan To move the background image, select Plan > Modify background image and change the origin point at the last step of the wizard. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: How to extend the plan @Keet I downloaded and installed the pluginmanager, but something's wrong now as I get an error message when I click on Toold/Plugins manager: "No enum constant it.ld.sh3dplugins.pluginmanager.UpdatesHandler.Tag.descriptor" |
