Title: Warn message required that a "Floor Exisits - do you want to replace it?"
Post by: Allan Chesney on October 24, 2007, 12:54:01 PM
If the program is set to Automatic Floor and the user click on Insert / Floor by Room, it will insert another floor in that room but the automatic one is still there. In fact the user can add multiple floors in the same room, in an attept to change the surface.  Obviously Auto Floor should have been unchecked and Replace used if it was necessary to change the floor type, rather than just the surface but this is not necessarily obvious, to a new user especially. 

Would it be possible to have a warning message to the affect that "a floor exists do you want to change it?" and if Yes take them to the Replace option?

In addition, a similar issue exists when installing a ceiling.  I tried to install a tray ceiling and before I was aware (Thanks to Jack Zimmer detective work) I had 4 ceilings installed in same room and then renders were terrible (see other forum post)

So suggest for floors, ceilings, roofs, etc....a warning is issued....if one knows that is the user's intent to duplicate, the warning can be ignored on purpose....similar style to the warning when the catalog is updated upon program close....but done at the time of insert.
