Hello everybody,

after some time of housebuilding I am back to Sweet Home to do some additional planning.

At the moment, I am wondering if there is a possibility to calculate the perimeter of a room (that means to add all lengths of walls in this room) - this would be a great thing if you look for ...

Maybe pial, Ivedin and myself are the only ones that think this way? I agree 100% to your explanations (elevated virtual visitor is nice but definitely not as useful as aerial view is).

No bad temper here. Just the free words of a big fan of your work.
RIGHT! And why not making a good software ...

I think that behind the debate of centering the scene or not, (which has a partial solution by adding objects on the edge), there is a bigger drawback that is the zoom limit.
As you build an environment around your house, it becomes impossible to zoom in and turn around your kitchen for exemple ...

Pierre, I agree 100%. Although I understand Emmanuel's point of view, it is neither intuitive nor effective to have the center forced to be in the middle of the bounding box of all created objects. But I will not give up hope for this feature next to be implemented

The user interfaces of many (many...) popular programs support this idea (I think all graphic/photo editors like Photoshop, Gimp...), so I think it can not be wrong.
I don't know exactly what you mean by "edit text directly in the plan view" - but the "normal" way would be to
1) set the mode (draw ...

I think it would be very effective to use "single key shortcuts" for the key features, for example...

- select: "s"
- draw wall "w"
- create room "r"
- dimension tool "d"
- move "m"
- zoom in numpad "+"
- zoom out numpad "-"
- text "t"

This would allow to switch between the modes with one single ...

I have been working with SH for some days, and now I am noticing a strange behaviour when zooming in:
For example, an item (furniture object or a wall) is selected and in the middle of the screen at (36, 36) .
When clicking at the zoom in (or ctrl+mouse wheel up) to zoom in, the visible area moves ...

Until now, the ceiling computing works for simple slopping walls only.
..and that's a great feature and far more than I would have expected. Now that I found out that I simply have to disable that for the rooms under the roof, the export obj > kmz > sketchup works great (direct way obj > sketchup ...

Edit: meanwhile I found out that the "wrong lines" in the topmost level occur when the option "draw ceilings" is activated - with this, Sweet Home tries to find corresponding points to draw a correct projection of the floor which has to go wrong if floor and ceiling are not parallel.

So be careful ...

Even if you may find a few users here that knows Blender, I guess you'll get faster some information on a Blender forum.
By the way, even if I know the photo creation tool isn't perfect, why do you prefer to try with Blender?

I tried the PhotoCreation tool, but it does not work (the preview pane ...
