@sorrow Never mind the imaginary pink overlay and guesstimate, that was just an answer to your initial question, estimation of distance based on area. How to insert an image quickly, without having to draw the outline, approximately the right size (as it happens, it was pretty much spot on, but ...

Can I assume Hansmex cm is large because he catered for the odd shape, so I should put maybe plus minus 10cm from my future drawings as my drawings is not drawn to scale, just want people to have a feel of the unit in 3D format.

I'm abit lost at what Okh had said on the imagination part, i'm pretty ...

Hi Hansmex, I saw your drawing, just to check how did you come to the input measurement 1076.5cm on the background image?

Haha understood Okh, thanks everyone once again, I will try it later

Did you see the Hans's work (on first page) ?

No, because Hans has solved the problem very well by giving his file !

Hi Bdfd, yeah going to look thru and open another can of worms haha. oops but seriously i will look thru and try and put any questions up. I would like to thank every ...

@sorrow

... I have to make a wild guess as nothing that allows an auto gauge even if i have the total area in sqft

No, you don't have to guess. You just make a room with an outline that mimics the precise outline of the total area of your floor plan, and then SH3D will give you the areal of ...

Ah yes, not too much to go on in you drawing. Here is what you could do to estimate a long line in the drawing so it scales correctly in SH3D.
- Assume a rectangle top wall and right wall (incl lift shaft), shape is not the same, but area looks roughtly like the size of the flat.
- Imaginary ...

Try this file , took me al of 10 minutes.

Hi Hansmex,

sorry for the late reply as was down with fever + work these two days, let me look thru and update later as its National Day here today though i'm still working thanks. [:x]

..let me see how I can upload the drawing on google drive or dropbox and see if anyone can guide a stupid me from there... I once asked a local fisherman that I could not understand how he could navigate his boat through an archipelago avoiding every numerous, unmarked, underwater rock. His answer ...

..take those as a guideline and set them as 200 or 210 cm in length... Or sometimes 190cm outside Holland/Scandinavia [:)]
Hansmex' advice is good as there is usually some identifiable length somewhere in the drawing (pick the longest). Even a door/window could give an approximate result as long ...
