Wall-thickness selectable/to chose

would it be a good idea to speedup room building by placing a selector with two or three (changable) values for the wall thickness (and even height?) right next to the wall drawing tool button?

Purpose:
for drawing outer walls of a building the thickness has to be larger. so to change the thickness of a wall to draw we have to visit the preferences and change the (default) wall thickness, permanently, over and over again.

doesn't seem to be quite optimal.

Re: Wall-thickness selectable/to chose

This is a nice idea but not sure it will happen soon because:
- under Mac OS X the tool bar is already quite large : the solution could be to have a configurable toolbar or not to display that selector under that system.
- changing the values of this selector would require other options in the preferences or an other dialog.
- you can already change easily the default thickness of walls without opening preferences by pressing the <enter> key while creating walls.

Re: Wall-thickness selectable/to chose

Just right-click on a wall while in that mode and place the option in the context menu.

Two ways to do it would be to either set a number of wall thickness options in the preferences which would show up in the context menu, or place a context menu option for setting wall thickness until changed again.

Right now we must move to selection mode and then change the thickness in the bottom blank for the selected wall only. This must be duplicated for each wall of that thickness. Then we go back to creating the more of the wrong size walls.

Just a thought on how to solve the problem.
