Wall Snap

[SoulMaTriX]

Turn off effectively? Case in point. I am trying to make a somewhat exact copy of my current home to plan a redesign. When I create a wall, it will snap to a point that messes up the room dimension. So instead of snapping the wall at 18'6" per se, it will only move from 18' to 18'9" and I cannot get the wall to the dimension I need. I delete the wall and restart, then I lose the floor. It gets frustrating to have certain limitations. Not sure if I am doing something wrong. I have used various home design software over the years and can manipulate most to get what I need. But this just irritates my creativeness.

Hello!
There is a magnet icon on the menu bar to turn on/off the snap for walls and objects. Let us know if the problem remains :)
Have a good day!

The snapping (magnet icon) is non functional, toggled on or off, my wall segment snaps like crazy and does not get into the dimensions I need. its driving me insane.

Dead post, helpless bump anyway.

Hello,
The wall snapping you are mentionning is a feature that was intended to prevent errors and bugs when creating rooms. It is inherent to the room-building system, and allowing a completely free use of the wall tool would be too costly, and raise the minimum system requirements. Home Design 3D is intended for an easy approach to projects, so anyone can build in a couple steps their own design without too much trouble.

However, if you are looking for more precision in your builds, and require a more profesionnal approach to your designs, we invite you to take a look at a product like Home Architect, that would be a better fit for your needs. https://store.steampowered.com/app/790900/Home_Architect__Design_your_floor_plans_in_3D__Ultimate_Edition/

I've had some luck in combating the tricky snap by free drawing a single wall while zoomed far in with the camera, deleting surrounding walls and carefully moving corner points before returning to the snap feature to straighten them out.
