That would be very powerful to use dimension tool affectively as lance dimension in ACAD. This way you do not need to click for each dimension length.
-
Layer combination would be essential for different stages relating building presentation and workflow enhancements.

In architectural design is essential to work with different wall types using components for walls. Components mean layers of different materials, substance; plaster, insulation, structure etc.

We are now waiting for ages after realise of REAL SECTION plugin to get sections properly usable for architectural documentation. Unfortunately Real section was not a public investment. It would be also a great development for us to have section tool with real materials (hatches) that object has.

So, BIM in western EU and other part of the world was just a miracle 5 ys ago, otherwise it is more that 15 years old technology. Unfortunately there is a false theory in many people what BIM exactly is. It is not only 3D and not 3D with BOM. It is an IT integration of 2D, 3D, BOMs and processes of construction in one (or two - const management) tool. Basically it means one tool for architectural design. I just writing this post because many people just dealing with 3D plugins despite 2D would be also important part to make SK an BIM application. Building INFORMATION Modeling, Information not just about Numbers, Information means also Visual Information on the model; e.g. hatches for materials, Fill types for room. ALso would be useful an Room area tool with Area, Covering types etc. data.
Now we could find more than 5 BIM plugin on the site, all is about 3D. Why is it important to build more and more same plugins. Probably not the same, but spending years for similar it is just time wasting for everyone; for developer and testers (who download, test, and write reports for free on the forum and spend sometimes hours a weekend to find solution how it works properly)

Merged all topics into one thread

My wish list is pretty basic:
- Provide a way to draw circles & polygons starting from an edge instead of from the center (like most 2D vector drawing programs can do).
- Likewise, provide a way to draw rectangles starting from their centers.
- Allow the cursor keys to constrain the plane of rotation of the rotate tool along the red, green, or blue axis, similar to how they set constraints for the move tool.
- Similarly, allow the cursor keys to set the plane for drawing out rectangles, polygons, arc bulges, & so on.
- Additional selection tools, modeled after the oval, polygon, & selection brushes in Photoshop, plus an option to limit what they select to visible faces and/or edges.
