|
A piece of furniture qualified as a door or a window indicates
to Sweet Home 3D to automatically make holes in walls at doors
or windows intersection location. To ensure this intersection
is correctly computed, check that the depth of a door or a window
is always larger than the thickness of the wall in which it
makes a hole. This computation isn't made for the other kinds
of furniture. |
|
When your home contains more than one level, a staircase is able to automatically make a hole in the ceiling and the floor of upper levels when its height is higher than the elevation of the upper level. |
|
Modifying the power of lights has some effect only in the
images computed by the photo
or video creation tools, at
the two best quality levels available for these tools. A light
source has no physical 3D representation and can be seen in
the 3D view when selected for feedback purpose.
|
|
If a piece of furniture is dropped on an other one, it will
be elevated to appear on the top of the latter, when its selection
rectangle is included in the one of the latter and its elevation
is equal to zero (on the floor of the selected level). If the border of the dropped piece intersects the border of an other piece, the dropped piece will be positioned along the border of that piece. These automatic behaviors are
disabled when magnetism is disabled. |
|
If the objects selected in the plan contain walls, rooms,
furniture, dimensions 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. |
|
By default, the angle of a piece of furniture is a multiple
of 15° to help you placing it parallel to walls in your
home. You may cancel this magnetism by holding down the shift
key during the rotation of a piece, or by disabling magnetism
in the preferences pane.
In the same way, the angle, the depth and the elevation of a
moved piece may be automatically updated only when magnetism
is enabled. |
|
The unit displayed by default in the tooltips and furniture
pane depends on your country. You may switch to Centimeter,
Meter, Millimeter or Inch in the preferences
pane. |
