Hello, I added autodimensioning, saved the sh3d model and read it again. Is there a way to delete all these autodimensioning lines from the sh3d model please ?
Hi,

Good morning. Just delete the level ("Level x-Dim") generated. That should do the trick.

Dear Mr Dorin,

Namaste!

I logged in after quite a while mainly to again say -thank you very much- for your very useful plugin Auto Dimensioning. It makes life much easier while working with SweetHome3D. I just downloaded version 1.5 (I guess that's the latest one?) and find it has number of useful features. Yes certain things may not be working perfectly as you mentioned but nonetheless it is indeed useful.

One reason I keep looking for other home / building design software is SH3D's lack of dimension measuring ability but your plugin has improved it. Thanks for your hard work.

Take care and stay blessed.

I have found the Autodimensioning Add roof projection(s) extremely useful to provide a new, larger, room in order to double click it in order to create a new wall at the correct location (just beyond the cavity in a double skinned wall).

A big thanks to Dorin [=D>]

I had imagined that the resize tool (keeping the aspect ratio the same) would permit the creation of a smaller room on which to auto build the room foundation wall (supporting the double skinned cavity wall).

That doesn't work as i'd expected though.

Would it be possible to change this plugin to permit negative roof overhang values?

Of course, maybe it's easily possible to do the smaller room another way that I just haven't imagined yet...

Apologies,

that should actually read as:

I had imagined that the resize tool (unchecking the "keep aspect ratio of" radio button and reducing Width/Height by the same amounts) would permit the creation of a smaller room on which to auto build the room foundation wall (supporting the double skinned cavity wall).

Apologies again - I just realised that I can resize the width of the existing walls in order to create the smaller room [8-}]

Request cancelled.
