New plugin: Advanced plan editing

[starrunner]

Hi maker,

as already described above, the "Join walls" function is working as expected. I renamed it to "Connect walls" in the new plugin version - hope that makes it more obvious.

What do you mean by "relative dimensions" in "Edit points"? The only dimension available there, is the length of the line. Or do you mean "relative positions" (e.g. according to the upper left corner)?

A new version (1.1) of the plugin is available: Advanced plan editing

Changes:
- Renamed "Join walls" -> "Connect walls"
- Fixed problem in resizing when selected elements have zero height or
width
- Fixed usage of unit in resize dialog
- Added preview panel to "Edit room points" for better visualization of
points and edges

Hi starrunner,

I'm back to square one (my computer) with the plugin not working. (Maybe, somehow, Oracle Java installed by OpenOffice) is causing problems.) I tried opening the SH3D.jar kindly supplied by Puybaret from the console (commandline - is that right). But that does not give any message

For the moment I've given up on this - I can do editing in Blender/wings3d. I'll try again after 2-3 days. Thanks for your help [:)]

Hi Maker,

I've made already a feature request to have access to the console from inside the program.

The command line I proposed here is for the installed version of SH3D, not the JAR!

Maybe SH3D is looking into a different plugin directory, you could use the Process Monitor to check which directories SH3D tries to access.

A new version (1.2) of the plugin is available: Advanced plan editing

Changes:
- Added Edit -> Rotate action - rotates the selected objects in arbitrary
angles
- Flip wall styles on mirroring (you can mirror objects by using negative factors in then resize dialog, e.g. Width = -100% mirrors the selected objects on the Y axis)

I am unable to download this plugin

Look at the Attached files section below of the comments. You can open that section with a little arrow handle on the right. There you'll find two files, the AdvancedEditing.sh3p file is the plugin you need to download.

Click here for a direct download (this link works for version 1.2 only, as soon as a new version is available it will vanish).

Tobias,

I am starting to like your plug-in VERY much. Especially the possibility to adjust the coordinates for rooms is very useful.

Nevertheless, I have a request for additional features: join walls.

What I would like to see, is:
- 1 - After splitting a wall, I would like to be able to join the two wall segments, so that it becomes one wall again. If possible we could have some control about which colour or texture should be kept. A simple solution could be to apply the colour or texture of the segment that's chosen first to the combined wall.
- 2 - Connect the end point and starting point of a series of wall segments. Example: If I draw a room, but the end point doesn't connect properly with the starting point, I don't get a nice "closed" corner. It would be nice if we could specify two end points and connect these to form a closed room.

Thanks

Hans

Hi Hans,

thanks, I like it too [;)]

for - 1 -: If I understand you right, you would like a shortcut for:

1. Select the second wall and delete it.
2. Select the first wall.
3. Select the wall after the previous second one.
4. Execute current "Connect walls" action?
   [/list=1] For - 2 -: I don't see the difference to the current "Connect walls" action?
