Octagon

[heldenberg]

I like to draw a room in octagon form with 4m side length.
I tried everything but no success...
Please HELP!

To draw a room in the shape of a regular octagon, you can:
1- select the plan (focus)
2- position the first point of the room
3- move the cursor to the second point
4- press the enter key
5- modify the length (4m)
6- press the tab key
7- modify the angle (0° or -22.5°)
8- press the enter key
9- press the tab key
10- modify the angle (135°)
11- press the enter key
12- repeat steps 9 to 11 until your room is closed
13- press the escape key

You can use the AdvancedEditing.sh3p plug-in to move or rotate your room.

1 - Click the walls icon
2 - Click on any point in the 2D window
3 - Hit ENTER
4 - Enter 0,0 as X,Y coordinates (or any other starting point you want, use TAB in between)
5 - Hit ENTER and the wall will stretch horizontally to the right from the starting coordinate
6 - Overwrite the suggested wall length
7 - Hit TAB and enter 135 degrees as angle
8 - Overwrite wall thickness if necessary
9 - hit ENTER
10 - repeat steps 5-9 seven times, SH3D will suggest the same wall length, change angle to 135 degrees - you will note that using TAB is enough to go to wall angle, then ENTER is enough to complete each step)
11 - after 7th repetition octagon is ready, on ENTER the last wall segment will join the first segment

(PS - I tried it twice after reading my text, it should work as described)
