Re: create room with exact size impossible
Hi, I am trying to create a room which has accurate measures, but it seems, I can only generate measures on 2 mm exact measure instead of 1 mm. My room is 1555mm long but I can only create one with 1554mm or 1556mm lenght, is there any way to make it exactly 1555 mm long ?
Hi,
Did you try to reduce the thickness of the wall of 2 mm ? (1 mmm for each side).

So I have to read all to find out, how to create a room, with a size of 1 mm more ?
Look it is a simple question, I am not unexperienced with other pretty similar tools. I only not understand, how to make my room 1555 mm long that is all. If this program is not able to do so, then it is bullshit and I download another one, simple as my question is.
My room has no walls yet, because it does not show the exact size I want it to have.

Your brain is strange ! A room without wall is a terrace...
But I'm agree with you about the distances 1554 or 1556 are only available, not 1555 mm. So tell us why 1 mm is important for you ?
Wait after Manu's answer...

Re: create room with exact size impossible
Possibility 1 To draw EXACT lengths, use this feature: - select the Walls button - click for first point of wall - hit Enter - a small window pops up where you can enter the exact length of the wall, angle and thickness - make walls 1 mm longer than needed and set wall thickness to 1 mm
Your walls will have your exact dimensions.
Possibility 2 If you have the AdvancedEdit plug-in installed, you could also draw a room, then EditPoints to set the exact room dimensions. - select the Room button - draw a room that has the approximate size and shape you need - edit the room points using Plan --> Edit Points - select the Walls button - double click on the room: walls will be drawn around your room
Good luck with this "kids program". Maybe you should study the user guide and help files before drawing conclusions?

Re: create room with exact size impossible
I agree with the original poster that this functionality is a little too counter-intuitive (by far the most "difficult" among the 3D design programs I have used). I have exactly the same difficulties.
I have installed the advanced edit plugin, but I cannot find the "plan -> edit points" menu item. However, long menus are not fully visible on the screen and they do not scroll so may be the item is not visible.
