Feat. Req: Automatically measure all walls

[Olaf_Noehring]

Hi

I have used Roomarranger in the past. A great feature there is to automatically measure all walls - saves a lot of work.

Hi,

The tool "Create dimensions" has no dependence on an object, dimensions are totally free, so therefore the magnetism of these does not work on the walls.

This function is not provided in the near future.

Greeting,

Hi,

If "measure" means something like total length of all walls or area wouldn't it be pretty easy to make a plugin and then just run from the menu ? i.e. like volumeplugin.

Something like ....

VolumnePlugin.java

Code: Select all

public void execute() { 
  float volumeInCm3 = 0; 
  double  wallLength = 0; 
  double totalWallLength = 0; 
  StringBuffer wallDimensionsMsg = new StringBuffer(); 
 
  for (Wall wall : getHome().getWalls()){ 
    if (wall.getXStart() == wall.getXEnd()) { 
      wallLength = wall.getYStart() - wall.getYEnd(); 
    } else if (wall.getYStart() == wall.getYEnd()){ 
      wallLength = wall.getXStart() - wall.getXEnd(); 
    } else { 
      wallLength = Math.sqrt(Math.pow((wall.getXEnd()-wall.getXStart()),2) 
          + (Math.pow((wall.getYEnd() - wall.getYStart()),2))); 
  } 
       
  // get rid of negative values 
  wallLength = ((wallLength < 0 ? -wallLength : wallLength)); 
  totalWallLength+=wallLength; 
  wallDimensionsMsg.append("Wall: length " + wallLength + "\n"); 

  wallDimensionsMsg.append(String.format("  Total wall length = %.2f cm", totalWallLength)); 
  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, wallDimensionsMsg); 
}

......

Output would be " Total wall length = 1455.00 cm"

Excuse me if I got the wrong end of the stick
