Some more ideas, maybe not so easy to implement
After suggesting some enhancements which I hope are not too difficult to implement, I'm adding some maybe not so easy to implement but, IMO, would enhance the SH3d a lot.
List of walls -similar to the list of furniture. Clicking on a wall would select a line in the wall list with all the properties of the selected wall including level to which it belongs and height
List of levels - similar to the list of furniture, instead of Level tabs. It would allow to have the levels features handy
Visibility of each of levels - allowing to select visibility of each of levels - similarly to photoshop - would be fine for drawing layers with electric cables, plumbing installation etc. which could be visible only on demand
Highlighting of the selected wall in the 3D view - e.g. temporarily show it in different color. Sometimes it is difficult in multi-level houses to see where one wall ends and second starts on a vertical scale, especially if they are partially one over another by mistake
Allow to change category of furniture and textures for standard library to be able to put furniture from the standard lib to a user category
Guide lines - for easier aligning walls in different levels - at least one in each direction, i.e. one optional horizontal and vertical line which could be dragged by mouse. Snapping to such a line would be excellent
Different hatching of walls in different levels - Different hatching of walls in different levels would allow to diferentiate "tall" walls penetrating from lower level(s) (below the selected level) in houses which have some rooms elevated a bit.
3D view - alow to zoom closer then it is possible now (providing it is possible)
When re-displaying properties of a furniture or wall it would be nice to highlight the color/texture already used - now there is no way how to determine a color texture already used.
