A workaround:
1. Connect the ends of the walls to close a perimeter;
2. Generate a room inside;
3. Use Rooms Information to get the perimeter;

Like this: (in meters)

4. Select the room and use Edit points from Advanced Editing plugin to find the length between start-end walls.

Subtract 1933 - 299.3 = 1633,7 cm

Thanks will look at this when i am on my laptop.

(On the pc the old version which is coming from Ubuntu 22.04 is crashing with:
Java 3D: implicit antialiasing enabled
[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
java: ../../src/xcb_io.c:278: poll_for_event: Zusicherung »!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost« nicht erfüllt.
and in the online version i didn't found how to Generate a Room inside)

That's a very clever workaround! I could not think of a way to calculate it.

@jokergermany: note that this will give you the inner wall length, the length where the room touches the walls.

Même remarque que celle de Keet.
J'ai cherché aussi comment faire et voilà, Dorin est passé par là.
Super et merci à lui.

Thanks for the hints.
A hint that this is a plugin would have been nice XD

@Keet
I know but better than nothing =)

Outer lenght could be computed by generating the room using the autodimensioning plugin.

C'est vrai, Daniel, mais uniquement sur des murs rectilignes.

Pour les murs incurvés, l'auto dimensionnement donne uniquement les valeurs des rayons et des cotes environnantes de chaque bout de mur.
Mais pas leur longueur réelle.

@captaincook
You're right! But Daniels118 meant to say something else.
Autodimensionig could generate built surface:

The rest of the operations remain the same.

Effectivement Dorin, vous avez encore raison.

Au passage, j'ai vu que j'avais la version V.1.5 du pluging Autodimensioning mais je n'ai pas trouvé où télécharger la V.1.6.
