Rooms Information plug-in
Another YAUP (Yet Another Useless Plugin). Version 1.0 -it's intend to replace RoomsSurface plugin; -I've add two new column: perimeter and walls surface; -for area and perimeter could be trusted; -the walls surface is not totally really reliable; for very common home could be used but for other kind of homes used with care; -at the moment I limit to compute only straight walls (including sloping), not curved walls. -TO DO in the future: to subtract the opening; I've try already but I receive strange numbers. Maybe someone could help us. That'is! Also on Souce Forge

Re: Rooms Information plug-in
New version 1.1 -add calculation for round walls including sloping (thanks to hansmex ) -add support for imperial measurement -few code modification Possible errors: -when You modify walls after room creation even in plan don't appear so TO DO: -subtract holes surfaces BUT there are many situations when will give wrong results e.g. superimposing doors over frame door or service hatch -I could add a new column with this calculation or modify the current one or forget PS: make some test file to verify the accuracy; If You discover something wrong let me know.

New version 1.2 It look like that: Hope You could see the news. Advise: Don't trust it! Verify. BUGS: In some cases the number of holes and walls area are not correct. It depend of how accurate and the logic of home building. Also on SF

@YGYL 1. For other language than English or French you have to: 1.1 Extract sh3p file in a folder (in fact is a jar file); 1.2 Go to /RoomsInfo/roomsinformations/ApplicationPlugin.properties; 1.3 Copy and save as ApplicationPlugin_zh_CN.properties 1.4 Make translation and converting them to ASCII encoding; 1.5 Pack back as jar and than change the extension in sh3p. For more information about translations read this page .
2. In my country is also used the metric system. I've test again the plugin and if I change the unit in general preferences it change also in plugin. So, please try again to set unit to meter, centimeter or millimeter.

I just tried, but it didn't work. Just came to tell you
It is displayed in meters only when the language is switched

Re: Rooms Information plug-in
@YGYL I've verify it and You've right! I've test with ~15 languages and appear this happen only with CN. One possible solution is to use TW when You need this plugin. I've see some differences between this files (LengthUnit_zh_CN.properties and LengthUnit_zh_TW.properties) and after some minor modifications appear to work. Anyway I suspect an translation error on SH3D rather than a plugin error.

Re: Rooms Information plug-in
I found the real cause of the problem SweetHome3D.jar In SweetHome3D.jar inside com\eteks\sweethome3d\model\LengthUnit_zh_CN.properties Inside should be changed to centimerUnit=\u5398\u7c73 The original has a few extra letters in front of it
