Wall editor suggestion

It sure gets frustrating, that whenever you click on the end of a wall to add another, that e cabinets doesn't automatically finish the same side of the next wall as the one it is attaching to.

This is really frustrating, and it happens a LARGE percentage of the time. I am trying to teach a shop, using a competitive brand of software, how to use e cabinets. He wants to buy a router, but this is a MAJOR hangup he has with our program.

Just a suggestion.

Mike,

In the software/wall editor. If you go from right to left around the room this should eliminate the confusion of the build side. Typically this is the direction one should build from, but on the rare occasion you need to reverse the direction, just right click on top of the wall or highlight all walls you wish reversed and chose change build direction.

Left to right is the way to go.

After you first click to anchor the wall, the build direction depends on which direction you move the mouse.

If you move the mouse from left to right, the inside of the wall will face the bottom of the screen. Moving the mouse right to left causes the inside of the wall to face the top of the screen.

Moving the mouse from top to bottom causes the inside to face toward the left of the screen while moving from bottom to top causes it to face right.

I understand which direction to go on first wall. It is the adjoining walls that are the issue.

Mike,
In the very first versions of eCabinets you were required to build walls moving clockwise. That is no longer a requirement but I still so it and it simplifies things greatly.
On angled walls or any wall for that matter, pay attention to the little red arrow, that is your finished side of the wall. As you are drawing a wall if you notice it on the wrong side simply right click and choose \"Reverse Build Direction\" to change it.

Brilliant!!!

It is a lot easier clockwise. I must be left brained. I never saw it coming.

Thanks Everyone who tried to help.

Anybody else hoping for new version for xmas?

I believe your not going to get a six in your stocking. You might find a new build though.
