EDIT: just learned about the offset function which might solve this. But still interested in why I cannot get it to snap to the points.
Hi there,
I’m trying to make a floor plan that I would later like to turn into a 3d model.
The first thing is to draw the outer walls of the house which have a total thickness of 30 cm.
I have set the camera to top projection and used the rectangle tool to make the outline.
Now I want to ‘cut away’ the inside so that the total thickness of the walls are 30 cm.
I have set two guidepoints 30 cm from top and side of rectangle.
I would now take the rectangle tool to start drawing a new rectangle at the point where the two guidepoints intersect. But I cannot get the rectangle tool to ‘snap’ at the point where they intersect even though I first mouse over the two points?
Am I doing this wrong?
Is there a better approach to drawing walls with a certain thickness?
