Rooms Information plug-in
Another YAUP (Yet Another Useless Plugin).
Version 1.0
-it's intend to replace RoomsSurface plugin;
-I've add two new column: perimeter and walls surface;
-for area and perimeter could be trusted;
-the walls surface is not totally really reliable; for very common home could be used but for other kind of homes used with care;
-at the moment I limit to compute only straight walls (including sloping), not curved walls.
-TO DO in the future: to subtract the opening; I've try already but I receive strange numbers. Maybe someone could help us.
That'is!

Re: Rooms Information plug-in
New version 1.1
-add calculation for round walls including sloping (thanks to hansmex )
-add support for imperial measurement
-few code modification
Possible errors:
-when You modify walls after room creation even in plan don't appear so
TO DO:
-subtract holes surfaces BUT
there are many situations when will give wrong results
e.g. superimposing doors over frame door or service hatch
-I could add a new column with this calculation or modify the current one or forget
PS: make some test file to verify the accuracy;
If You discover something wrong let me know.

It look like that:

Hope You could see the news.
Advise: Don't trust it! Verify.
BUGS:
In some cases the number of holes and walls area are not correct.
It depend of how accurate and the logic of home building.

Re: Rooms Information plug-in
@YGYL
1. For other language than English or French you have to:
1.1 Extract sh3p file in a folder (in fact is a jar file);
1.2 Go to /RoomsInfo/roomsinformations/ApplicationPlugin.properties;
1.3 Copy and save as ApplicationPlugin_zh_CN.properties
1.4 Make translation and converting them to ASCII encoding;
1.5 Pack back as jar and than change the extension in sh3p.
For more information about translations read this page .

2. In my country is also used the metric system.
I've test again the plugin and if I change the unit in general preferences it change also in plugin.
So, please try again to set unit to meter, centimeter or millimeter.

I just tried, but it didn't work. Just came to tell you

It is displayed in meters only when the language is switched

Re: Rooms Information plug-in
@YGYL
I've verify it and You've right!
I've test with ~15 languages and appear this happen only with CN.
One possible solution is to use TW when You need this plugin.
I've see some differences between this files (LengthUnit_zh_CN.properties and LengthUnit_zh_TW.properties) and after some minor modifications appear to work.
Anyway I suspect an translation error on SH3D rather than a plugin error.

applause   Re: Rooms Information plug-in
I found the real cause of the problem
SweetHome3D.jar
In SweetHome3D.jar inside com\eteks\sweethome3d\model\LengthUnit_zh_CN.properties
Inside should be changed to
centimerUnit=\u5398\u7c73
The original has a few extra letters in front of it

3. Try to find what don't work, let me know what and (with your help) I will tray to fix it.
Finally Manny thanks for your appreciations.
