carpet/floor covering

How do you select the floor covering to make adjustments to the size/location?

Surfaces surrounded by walls can only be adjusted by moving the walls. If you drew the surface with the surface drawing tool or delete one of the walls surrounding a surface you can drag the whole surface or the points after clicking the surface once. with a rightclick you can choose to duplicate; mirror, or arrange the surface.
The texture can’t be scaled yet; this is something we are considering to add.

OK, thanks for the response. Next question on the same topic – if the layout/design of the room changes, the flooring doesn’t. This is problematic if the room changes shape – when the room changes shape, the number of points in the flooring remains static, so you can’t alter the flooring to match the new room layout. We need to be able to either lay new flooring or click on the line to add points so we can change the shape of the flooring.

hi,

Thanks for this remark. We are aware that this problem sometimes occurs, this is a bug that was introduced with new floor drawing system. The floor should adapt automatically with the walls. For some reason this doesn’t allways happen. Currently I recommend to try to move some of the wallcorners back and forth until the floor updates itself to the walls. Is this the problem you ment, and does this work? We have this bug on our list and hope to solve it soon.

I’m having flooring troubles now as well. Only once since I migrated have I had a chance to do any floor textures at all. The option isn’t coming up. It’s very disappointing because I’m having so much fun using your program that I’m considering upgrading. I’m a hobbyist architect and this is a really nice site; easy to use. Please let me know if I’m doing something wrong, or is it a glitch. I didn’t have a problem with this until migrating.

@User18173323 We have added a new – smaller- menu in the new version. When you click on the i-icon in the menu, the big menu with all the textures will appear. You can also double click on a room to get the big menu.

Hope this helps
