![]() ZOOM in or out should do that and just that. Apps should do what they say they are going to do. So the reverse action should get you back to where you started. ![]() ZOOMING in and out should not change the centre of the image being manipulated. Certainly it should NEVER be combined with any PAN action. That's ZOOMING and shouldn't be confused with PAN. If on a camera you ZOOM in and then out again, you will be back to the same point. ZOOM, whose origin is of course the camera and it really should operate as such. Every app in some way needs to scroll and that is what the wheel is for and not to. What's the name of the wheel thing on a mouse? It's a SCROLL wheel and it should be used for SCROLLING, not some other fancy control that might be specific for just one or a few apps. And when you zoom back in again, hey, you're somewhere else entirely. The slightest movement of your finger on the mouse's upper surface and you've gone from studying the layout of some minor roads to a map of the entire planet. When a developer mixes up SCROLL, ZOOM and PAN in this way that Google have, it's virtually unusable with a Magic Mouse. Google do this with their Maps and it's so bad I have to keep a second mouse (without wheel) on my desk just to use Google Maps due to the very simple fact that the above is made worse when trying to use a mouse like Apple's Magic Mouse. Having the mouse wheel immediately zoom is irritating beyond belief. Using with CTRL or CMD is more than adequate. Please, do NOT, under any circumstances make the mouse wheel work as zoom, directly. What keyboard do you use (with/without numeric keypad, US, FR.)? Ok, well, there is a bug that HAS been going on under Mac OSX for YEARS! While the CMD - works to zoom out, the CMD + DOES NOT WORK AT ALL for zooming in. Re: Several problem with using Sweet Home 3D In a few (rare) questionable situations, you could just turn off the feature "Snap To" for those actions. ![]() I could even imagine that there would be a preference in setting the strength of the snappiness in pixels. So if and when the "Snap To" option is ON (with an ON/OFF icon on the tool bar), you could move any wall, or furniture with the mouse, when you approach another wall or furniture with it, it will just snap to it, if the stationery items happen to make up a corner then the furniture will snap to the corner if it's close enough to both. (I know, that you might get sick sooner or later for me bringing up SketchUp so often, I do that not to piss you off but because that's one of the few graphics applications I use and am familiar with.) ![]() Wouldn't it make sense to combine the two into one tool like "Snap To"? This is how it's done in Sketch up and don't recall every causing me any problem. ![]() both seem to do the same but with different items. If you could change the center of zooming to the current position of the mouse, it wouldn't even make sense to deal with the short cuts for zooming IMHO.īasically this is a drawing program where the primary tool supposed to be the mouse and only those functions should need keyboard assistance that a mouse couldn't do by itself.Ībout functions of magnetism and align. You're right about this, it is the scenario with all laptops, so you can scrap that idea. Note that even if I also prefer those shortcuts, they are not so easy to use on some foreign keyboards where the + key requires to press the Shift key. That doesn't remove the interest of the Furniture > Align side by side menu item (if it wasn't so interesting, I wouldn't have created a shortcut for it!) and I guess you demonstrate it this way to create faster the video, but when you need to align different kind of objects you can also drag and drop then directly side by side along a wall simply using the magnetism I described in my previous message.Įmmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D developer The way you show how to align objects in your video is unfortunately not very realistic, because the need to align side by side the exact same objects 2 or more times doesn't happen so often. Keep in mind that the plan pane and its scroll bars work with a 2D logic, which is different from the 3D logic. It could be programmed an other way, but I'm not sure it could be such a good idea. What is your preferred OS, MAC or Windows?I work under Mac OS X because I like it but before all, it allows me to test Sweet Home 3D under that system, Windows and Linux with only one computer.Ĭeciliabr, magnetism and align is supposed to work the same way on all operating systems, even if shortcut keys are different.Ībout the video, zooming with the Ctrl or cmd key doesn't give unpredictable results, it's just that zooming in or out won't change the origin of the plan. ![]()
