a tool to scale the entire project

Post by TheJoe »

Maybe there is already a tool like that, but i'm not aware of it, i can't find any trace on the net. Here's how i work:

1_ import the sketch file as a background (and set dimensions)
2_ trace walls and rooms
3_ place my furniture on it

It's a very good way to have the job done, it takes few hours to finish even a floor.. but today i found out that the furniture was too big for that room, i went wrong when i set the dimensions on the bitmap file (the window is soooo narrow.. and there's no way to enlarge it.. maybe this could be improoved too).

I find no way to correct the scale i've set. And that's how i started the same project once again... wishing to be more accurate with the scale when i import a bitmap).

If you want to rescale your home you can use the Advanced Editing plug-in (documentation available here).

You can enlarge the import background wizard dialog with the borders of the dialog box. Sorry but I can't display the full screen button in this dialog box.

Ummhh.. i don't think the problem is in scaling the background picture, but scaling the whole project (walls, furniture, etc.). Is this possible?
