so i checked the version i'm running and it says 7.6.5 from the mac app store and the sweethome for mac in the latest link you posted says 7.5 so i'm thinking i'm actually a version ahead of that?<br/>
<br/>
but maybe the version count in the mac app store is different?<br/>

<t>every time I change a measurement and click OK in the modify furniture dialogue box, running free desktop version on a mac, the program keeps jumping to the buy pro version screen and does not make the change. i can't believe just changing size or location center of furniture object is a pro ...

my bad. it never even occurred to me that the dimensions weren't listed and addressable in the dialogue box as they are for created walls, albeit the whole "room" concept is a little alien to me compared to other CAD experience.<br/>
<br/>
ironically, you can get the room to ...

so i tried rooms and making polygones out of polylines for just those reasons.<br/>
<br/>
I succeeded in making a rectangular polygon the same 2D size as a wall and coloring it, however the address to the Z dimension is clumsy and it only shows up in the bottom of doorways. I ...

are you trying to get dimensions for rooms displayed? if you create a "room" then you can double click to get dimensions. I am unaware of a list of rooms similar to the list of furniture and objects that would list room dimensions. that would be ideal . . . buehler . . . ?

<t>when I make walls it is easy to color the sides and top as they present in the 3D model. But I would like to color walls in the 2D rendering to make it easier to code walls that are going to be added or removed and to have that notice quickly vs. the patterns which, depending on scale, are pretty ...

thanks. that absolutely works in the rooms and it worked quickly where I made one room encompassing several actual rooms, but the walls are still truncated from the outside of the building. I tried including the exterior walls in the room I drew. that didn't help.<br/>

<t>I am making a plan in which the first level of a building drops a couple of feet a couple times as the property goes downhill and subsequent additions were built slab on grade below the original house.<br/>
<br/>
i created additional levels and set the elevation lower, i.e. with a minus sign ...

is there a way to inidcate the area you want to zoom to or set a center click at the center of where you want to zoomThanks,

got it. although that seems a little weird if the wall knows there is a door in it in 3D view (which I infer by being able to see through open doors in that view). definitely can multiple select, that is what i've been doing.
