Distances

The 7th tab is used to read the distances of furniture relative to each other and to the walls.

Here, no settings can be adjusted, only information is provided.

• The central, highlighted column shows the size of the selected furniture, and the adjacent values show the remaining space in the indicated direction.
  
  
  • When multiple pieces of furniture are selected, their combined bounding size is displayed.
    
    
• If two pieces of furniture are selected, a new panel appears showing the distance between the two pieces in all three dimensions.
  
  
  
  
  • If the distance in any direction is negative, indicating an overlap, the background of the field turns red.
    
    
  • If all three fields are red, one piece of furniture has intersected the other.
    
    
  • If the furniture accidentally intrudes into the wall, the negative distance to the wall is highlighted in red.
    
    
• The sizes and distances are always relative to the active wall, regardless of which wall the furniture is on.
  
  
  • The values always start from the furniture's projection, which may differ from the actual size of the furniture, for example, if it is not perpendicular to the wall.
    
    

Distances directly on the main screen

When clicking on the furniture while holding down the Ctrl key, four large arrows with four dimensions appear in the plane of the wall, indicating the distances of the furniture from the edges of the wall, the floor, and the ceiling.

If the Alt key is held down, the distance of the right edge of the furniture from the left edge of the wall appears.

  The direction of this measurement can also be reversed using the direction change icon of the auxiliary measurement grid.
