Re: Making continues walls
Finally is relatively correct. Now I understand Your problem related in initial post. The program compute correct the dimensions wile consider the visible side of wall. The walls from 3~6 have an extra .10 thickness from walls you have draw before and after. It's very close to real world when you try to measure some walls. To make continuous walls you need: 1. Install this great plugin; 2. Start drawing walls in one step (no mater the precise but the general aspect). That's mean you point and click (ONE CLICK) for every end of the wall. 3. The end of the last wall is preferably to be over the start point of the first wall. Finish drawing by double click, then press ESC. 4. In menu bar click on selection icon (the arrow). 5. Select LAST wall, press Shift + select FIRST wall to have both selected. 6. Wile selection go to Plan -> Connect walls .This option appear ONLY if the AdvacedEditing plugin is installed. After few attempts I'm sure You got'it.

Re: Making continues walls
what am i doing wrong?
Guessing from your picture and list of "errors", it could be that you are not aware that walls are measured from the centre point. This means you have to add or subtract half the wall thickness for each turn if you want to enter dimensions in the wall properties.
However, as it appears you are working with indoor measurements, there may be an easier way of doing this: - Open an empty plan, - draw a ROOM (not wall, use the Room-tool) with the dimensions you want, - (if you need to, zoom in on each corner and use the SELECT tool to move the corner exactly where you want it), - set the correct wall thickness in PREFERENCES - now, use the WALL tool and double-click on the room,
The wall should now fit snugly around the room, and your (indoor) measurements (and walls) should be correct.

Re: Making continues walls
To Dorin Thank you for the advise, Downloaded plugin as your suggested, on Readme.txt there is explanation to install under Linux and other Unix, it's the subfolder .eteks/sweethome3d/plugins of your user folder, I cant find the subfolder eteks in plugins. My SH is .tgz file don’t know if there is a difference, please advise.

Re: Making continues walls
1. Read at the end of this 2. Download AdvancedEditing.sh3p file from here 3. In your home directory (under linux) IF you have run at least once the SweetHome3D program you will find a hidden directory .eteks. In this one you will have the directory sweethome3d . There if you don't have allready a directory name "plugins" you must create it. 4. In this directory you have to copy the AdvancedEditing.sh3p file. 5. Restart the SweetHome3D program. P.S. My SH3D is also .tgz PPS My path is /home/dorin/.eteks/sweethome3d/plugins/

Re: Making continues walls
Again thank you for all the help. I am sorry to be a pain but this gremlin of .eteks continues. Search my Home folder and SW folders but no result, checked for hidden files the same. Follows a screenshot of SW folder, there is a Plugin with Desktop and i386 subfolders but no .eteks. I downloaded AdvancedEditing plugin.

Re: Making continues walls
Here's an other way that you might find easier: - Open a Terminal window - Drag and drop the icon of SweetHome3D program on Terminal window to copy its path - Type a space in the Terminal window - Drag and drop the icon of the .sh3p plug-in file on Terminal window to copy its path - Press <enter> in the Terminal window This should run a command like:
[Edit: don't use the -open parameter]

Re: Making continues walls
First Let's make clean on your mess.
1. As normal user (use your favorite file manager): --Go to folder where you download and extract the SH3D program. Delete the extracted folder. --Keep the SweetHome3D-4.4-linux-x64.tgz or SweetHome3D-4.4-linux-x32.tgz. and the AdvancedEditing.sh3p file. --Open an terminal (console): --type su --type your root password --type mv /root/home/.eteks --type exit & close the terminal. 2. Right click on SweetHome3D-4.4-linux-x64.tgz and select "Extract here" 3. Open the new extracted folder (SweetHome3D-4.4) and double click on SweetHome3D file. In few seconds SH3D is runing. Close it. 4. NOW you must already have create something like this: /home/dorin/.eteks/sweethome3d/ (in my case) /home/lumaja/.eteks/sweethome3d/ (probably in your case) ---You wheel find 3 folders (furniture; langueges; textures) and a file (preferences.xml) 5. Create here an new folder name plugins 6. Copy in this folder the AdvancedEditing.sh3p file 7. Go to SweetHome3D-4.4 folder and double click on SweetHome3D file.
