<r>Hello everybody,<br/>
<br/>
after some time of housebuilding I am back to Sweet Home to do some additional planning.<br/>
<br/>
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 ...

<r>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).<br/>

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>No bad temper here. Just the free words of a big fan of your work.<e>[/quote]</e ...

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>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. <br/>
As you build an environment around your house, it becomes impossible to zoom in and turn around ...

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

<r>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.<br/>
I don't know exactly what you mean by "edit text directly in the plan view" - but the "normal" way would be to <br/>
1) set ...

<t>I think it would be very effective to use "single key shortcuts" for the key features, for example...<br/>
<br/>
- select: "s"<br/>
- draw wall "w"<br/>
- create room "r"<br/>
- dimension tool "d"<br/>
- move "m"<br/>
- zoom in numpad "+"<br/>
- zoom out numpad "-"<br/>
- text "t"<br/>
<br/>
This ...

<r>I have been working with SH for some days, and now I am noticing a strange behaviour when zooming in:<br/>
For example, an item (furniture object or a wall) is selected and in the middle of the screen at (36, 36) <I><s>[I have a big model with some of the neighbour houses]</s>.<br/>
When clicking ...

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Until now, the ceiling computing works for simple slopping walls only.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
..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 ...

<t>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.<br/>
