Two problems/questions: exterior walls and a sofa that keeps flipping!

[melissastar]

Hi. First, thanks to all who helped me yesterday in figuring out that I'm not crazy. The directions in the tutorials/ info don't, in fact, match up with the Interiors product.  I'm making some progress, though, now I have two specific problems/questions.

 

First, I'm reconfiguring the entire interior of a house/apartment that will be built over the next few months/year.  The exterior walls on the plan are fixed. They cannot be changed, and I'm having the devil of a time figuring out how to work with the Interiors product to do this.  The walls are exactly 25 cm. thick,.  I can get approximately the right measurements, but can't nail it. I think part of difficulty might be that I can't seem to set a default for walls on Interiors that works for this particular case and I can't use some mid-line measurement (which I don't have) but must draw from the outside measurement of the walls. 

 

Second problem:  Why does the corner sofa I have placed  with the corner in the northwest corner of a room on the 2D plan suddenly flip to be floating in the middle of the room , with the corner in the southeast, when I look in dollhouse view?   I can correct it in dollhouse view, but then it's flipped to be wrong on the 2-D plan.  Explanations? Fixes?

 

Thanks!

Does Interiors have the ability to set the wall thickness? 

 

This is from Suite. Maybe the extra $20.00 is worth it?

 

For the sofa, it's usually a good idea to attach the plan file -- make sure it's not open in the program, for this type of problem.

 

And let us know where the sofa came from. The library or other website.

Solver,

 

With the software she's using, she can only upgrade to HDA, HDP and CA.
