If you find it let us know. I'm interested too.

Re: Automatic dimensions addition
are you trying to get dimensions for rooms displayed? if you create a "room" then you can double click to get dimensions. I am unaware of a list of rooms similar to the list of furniture and objects that would list room dimensions. that would be ideal . . . buehler . . . ?

@archibaldtuttle I'm also interested on this. If you find how to make a list with Rooms Information, eventually sorted by levels and names, let us know.

@mulanee
my bad. it never even occurred to me that the dimensions weren't listed and addressable in the dialogue box as they are for created walls, albeit the whole "room" concept is a little alien to me compared to other CAD experience.
ironically, you can get the room to display square footage, but not dimensions. given that the room could be any kind of polygon, in theory, I guess simple dimensioning doesn't apply universally. albeit you'd think that rectangular might be some kind of default measure and or that the two or several greatest dimensions could be listed.
@keet if i'm feeling brave i'll try a plug in sometime. haven't done that before. if someone has the facility to write one that colors walls in 2D, that would be the handiest problem solver for me at the moment. not sure how addressable that attribute is. or maybe even colors that correspond to a pattern choice so you're not really creating a new function.
It is a little work although the snap too is reasonably useful with the dimensions and you could create another level for dimensions and make it visible when you need it?
There is no plugin to color walls in the 2Dview but there are a lot of other useful plugins. You should at a minimum install the advanced edit plugin and you will probably want the Roof and Staircase generator plugins too. The Pan3DView plugin gives you a better 3Dview experience.

Re: Automatic dimensions addition
Or, maybe the AutoDimensioning plugin and many others.
