Precise snap tool for room assembly
D
Dahlia Vicuna
With regards to the joining of rooms together and with a view to increasing accuracy I would like to propose an update.
At the moment the rooms connect by snapping the corner of each room together, which works 90% of the time.
However, we have encountered an issue where the corner of joining rooms are not equal, since magic plan joined the rooms by the corner this made the survey inaccurate.
Is it possible to add a feature that allows the user to add a snap point to a room, I.e. the edge of a door opening in both rooms. So when you move one of the room to connect them they will join together at the set Snap point at the door opening and not the corners.

Bug? I measure rooms and the values get locked, I snap the room to the plan and it resizes my locked measurements instead of scaling the walls.

So I Measured the garage, which I did as 2 rooms. The main room is 20x20 and really square. For some reason one of the bump corners in the room disappeared which made the entire thing wonky.
The second, I measured the walls, closets, etc.. and the closet is poking through making the wall disappear completely. All of the measurements look right, and I re-measured multiple times to verify and several times I noticed Magicplan changed a locked value without the popup making the app unusable for accurate measurements and representations.
When I was doing the master bathroom, snapping it to the master bedroom made it have a giant gap. I have to double check all of the measurements now because the numbers got changed on other elements.
What is the point of measuring a room only to have the numbers change and the room resized or set askew when you snap the rooms together? This app may work as a fire-escape-plan maker, but for accurate measurements that keep getting changed after they are locked, this is an issue for me.
I just noticed my 0 offset for the second garage under-stair opening is gone and it is offset off the wall, yet again.

It would be great to have the option to either enable or disable the room connector in a floor plan.

Creating a room which is not a regular, four-sided room is near to impossible due to weird snapping behaviours.

The ability to turn off auto-snapping/adjustment or to completely lock walls in drawn positions (not just dimensions), presently if you wish to draw a building with awkward angles most of the time it will automatically snap walls to 'Square' meaning that you have to try and find workarounds when dealing with slight angles which can take a lot of time and lead to inaccuracies. This happens even when dimensions are locked and when scanning.

What I am missing is “snap to point” … known eg from adobe illustrator. You know, imagine as the object slides allongside other one and will cling to the corner of second object when/if reached.

So I measured my other house, and got about the right value of 1775 square feet ( Other measure got 1773 so within margin of error ). I then went to connect the rooms upstairs together, and the master closet wouldn't fit in the space. So I tried merging the master closet, then snapping it in, which somehow resized the house and now it is reporting 1885 square feet or so and all of the walls are now out of square.
This app changed my LOCKED measurements. It changed my square-footage. It rendered the work of measuring everything null.
On top of that, I went back, so the undo option no longer works after checking the square footage error I went back to undo and I can't. The entire upstairs measurements are destroyed.
Other closets upstairs moved, etc..
Downstairs seems to be ok - after redoing it because I also had wonky rooms when sketching out via lines because alcoves were somehow magically connected even though they were separate bits so I started with square rooms, then added corners, and created the alcoves separately.. I also added matching openings and doors to snap to...
I can't find any options to change where things snap to, so other issues where when I snapped the master upstairs originally when it properly worked, instead of the master closet snapping on properly it wanted to go to the opening and corners and then shifted the entire closet and the openings. Really difficult to work with.
And closets, etc.. should snap to rooms and be allowed to be moved together instead of not.
In one of the photos you can see the simple act of snapping the master changed the master bathroom size by adding about 5 square feet and removing a wall which was meticulously measured. It moved an upstairs closet out of square with the hall and the staircase, and made 2 doors.

It would be extremely useful with not 90 degree corners on kitchen islands. Being able to grab a corner and move it elsewhere to have it lined up with the wall or a specific direction would be game changer!

Snapping often distorts my rooms, either snapping to the wrong corner, or assuming angles are 90° when this is not always the case.

It is not possible to connect rooms that do not run at an angle. The grid function prevents this. You should be able to switch it off or change it. Not all rooms are exactly at an angle
It is not possible to add these rooms (drawing) as in the plan

I've just had the same problem, I've now done 3/4 of the plan for free because I can attach the attachment that doesn't run at an angle. The grid points move the plan for me. Would have to draw 3 floors in total over 1000 square meters for several division units and escape routes.
Will the function be available soon?
Somst I have to get something else with which I can draw, the drawings should be right for the building authority
