Columns in the plan and correct position of creation of the house
Hi,
When I open sweet home 3d, 2 negative columns -1 and -2 appear before column 0. I noticed that whenever I drag a piece of furniture to the left side of the plane, new columns are created. And today, my plan shows me up to column -26!
I have two doubts: 1 - how do I delete these columns that were created, due to furniture movements, and leave only the two columns -1 and -2 standard?
2 - What is the correct position to create the house? Should I move my home to the 0,0 position?

Re: Columns in the plan and correct position of creation of the house
Hi, Puybaret
????? ... but I do this constantly, because I cannot leave the program open 24h on my machine!
I noticed that there is a folder called Work that increases every day in size, today it is 15 GB in size. I deleted the files inside it, but when I use the program again it starts to accumulate files again!
Note: I deleted the Work files as informed by you in a post I saw here on the forum.
Is there a file that I have to delete so that the program can reopen without the columns I entered!?

Remove the objects placed in negative coordinates. The minimum and maximum values of the rulers are initialized according to the coordinates of the objects in the plan when you open it. And about the work folder, please update to version 6.5.2 which fixed this issue.

Re: Columns in the plan and correct position of creation of the house
Hi Puybaret,
I verified that the problem is related to the following Use Case:
- When we choose the "Select all" or "Select all at all levels" options, all furniture that has "Invisible status" IS NOT MOVED. That way, they stay in the original place, while the other objects and the house are moved to where we want. For this reason, when we close and reopen the program, the columns where these invisible furniture are located are not removed.
It would be interesting that when we use the options "Select all" or "Select all at all levels", the furniture with "invisible status", is also selected so that they are moved along with the other objects in the plane.

Actually, if you select all items in the furniture list, they will all move when you drag and drop them in the plan (visible or not), but I find this is very arguable. Actions in the user interface should have some visible feedback.

Re: Columns in the plan and correct position of creation of the house
Hi Puybaret,
Before I answer, I have to say that I use this wonderful program to make my new home myself ... ... for this reason, I am testing the various options for customizing doors, sizes and textures for this and other furniture before definitively choosing the one I will use in my project.
I have approximately more than 30 objects in invisible status because this speeds up the project, as I don't have to change the texture of a door every time I want to do texture tests, so this way, I make the changes and leave them invisible for make it easier to compare which one I’d like to use.
Having to mark all the invisible objects when changing the location plan will make this process much longer.
If a furniture list had at least one checkbox to select and deselect all invisible objects, then it would be very practical!
Finishing my project, I will start executing other projects for my family members who want to build their houses, without spending a lot on architects, imagine a very big project with several options of doors and textures, as it would be more practical to be able to move all objects that are invisible.
The option of invisible objects is wonderful, since we can change textures and change the size of the objects and leave them on standby so we can choose what we like best, but if we can't move them along with the project so that they stay the same place of origin from which we created it, it ends up becoming an option that delays the project.

You could add all your invisible objects to a group that you would make visible or invisible. By the way, dragging an item of the list on an invisible group will make it invisible too.

Look in the Furniture and Edit menus, there are 4 items related to groups management. See also the little video about dragging furniture here.
