If you want to modify the name or the 3D attributes of a set of rooms, select these
rooms and choose Plan > Modify rooms....
The values of the attributes that are different from one room to another in the selected rooms set,
will appear blank in the rooms pane. |
|
Use the menu items of Plan > Modify text style submenu to change the size or the style of the
texts displaying the name and the area of the selected rooms. |
|
You may add a point to an existing room by placing the mouse cursor where the new point should be added,
then choosing Add point to room in the contextual menu of the plan. Similarly, you can delete the point
of a room under the mouse cursor by choosing Delete point from room in the contextual menu of the plan. |
|
If you want to set different colors or textures on different parts of the floor of a same room,
create a room for each part and change their color or texture. |
|
The elevation of the floor of a room is always equal to the elevation of the level
the room belongs to (or 0 if no level was added to home). If the room isn't at the last level, the elevation
of the ceiling will be equal to the elevation + the height of the level it belongs to. Otherwise, the height of the
ceiling of a room is computed at each point of the room, and the height at each of these points is equal to the height
of the closest point of a wall. This allows to create the ceiling of a garret when you set different heights at the
start and end points of sloping walls. When the Flat ceiling only option
is selected, the ceiling is always flat and placed at the elevation of the highest wall in the level.
Unselect this option to try the ceiling of a garret (works only for rooms with a simple shape). |
|
The ceiling of a room is visible only from below, meaning you'll be able
to see it only when Virtual visit is selected. This allows you to
always see the interior of the edited home when Aerial
view is selected, whether Display ceiling check box in room pane is selected or not. |
|
If you want to
disable the activated magnetism on wall intersection points and for the angles of the lines you draw, disable the magnetism
in the preferences pane or while moving points, hold down the Alt key under Windows,
the cmd key under Mac OS X or the Shift + Alt keys under Linux.
|
|
If the objects selected in the plan contain walls, rooms, furniture, dimensions, polylines and texts, all these
objects will be moved with a drag and drop or the keyboard arrows. If you keep the Ctrl key (or under Mac
OS X, the alt key) pressed while
you drag and drop these objects, they will be duplicated. |
|
The unit displayed by default for the area depends on your country. You may switch
to Centimeter, Meter, Millimeter or Inch in the preferences pane. If Inch is the chosen
unit, the room areas will be displayed in square feet, otherwise they will be displayed in square meter. |
