| Editing furniture | |||
You may edit the location, the size, the elevation and the angle of
home furniture, either with the mouse or with the Furniture >
Modify... menu item. When one piece or one group of pieces is selected in the plan, you may also change its size, elevation or angle with one of the four indicators that appear at each corner of the selected piece.

When the mouse pointer is upon one of these corners, it changes to indicate you can drag and drop
that corner to change the matching attribute of the selected piece of furniture. While you press the
mouse button, a tooltip shows the value of the edited attribute(s). A piece of furniture may also be edited thanks to its pane, by double-clicking on that piece in the home plan or furniture list, or by choosing Furniture > Modify... after selecting it.
In the furniture pane, you may change its name, the abscissa (X) and
the ordinate (Y) of its center, the elevation of its bottom from the
floor, its width, its depth, its height, its color or its texture, its
shininess, its visibility, its rotation angles, whether its name should
be displayed in plan or not, and whether its 3D model shape should be
mirrored. It's not possible to rotate doors, windows, staircases and groups around a horizontal axis.
The Furniture materials pane displays the list of materials you can edit, and a 3D preview of the color and texture changes you made, because materials may not always have some clear or translated names (like bone2 instead of mattress or flyellow instead of frame in the previous figure). When necessary, you can also rotate the object in the 3D preview with the mouse and modify more than a material at the same time after selecting them in the list. |
