furnitures do not look nice in 2d view

[sankari]

Hello,

When I add furnitures to my project they look like a square an in the middle a picture of the object inserted. I mean if e.g I insert a table, what I see in the 2d view is a rectangule and in the middle o f the rectangule a small icon of a table, but this does not look a table as it should be.

Is it a problem of my graphical card?
I am using a toshiba laptop from 2003 and a desktop computer from 2002 using Matrox Millenium G450 and I get the same results in both.

Please, could you tell me how to solve this problem, I do not car much about the 3d view, but with this problem the 2d view does not look real.

Thank you.

Sankari,

The manual isn't very helpful in this case, but with a bit of curiosty you will discover in Preferences the option Furniture icons in plan --> Top view .

If you don't want the 3D view, maybe you are interested in the 2D view. Try the option Plan --> Export to SVG format to have a 2D picture.

Thank you Hans,
It is true what you say but now when I choose the choice
"Furniture icons in plan --> Top view" the result is even worse because now I get a rectangule almost empty and of course there is not anyway to guess what kind of furniture is. Do you think is a graphical card problem?

What do you think about it?
Thank you.
