Re: [libreoffice-users] Draw: an odd room, place labelled furniture?

Hi Dan :)
Many many thanks for this advice! :)  You may have saved me many many hours of intense frustration 
tomorrow!  Knowing that someone else has used this successfully is such a relief.  

So, the key is the line tool :)
Thanks and regards form
Tom :)

     I would think this is quite possible. First you use the line tool to draw the outline of the 
room. You might want to indicate where the doors or any windows are in the room. Then create 
outlines for your furniture. You can drag and drop them wherever you want them.
     I did this to figure out how my son and I were going to share a large bedroom about 4 years 
ago. My design did not seem possible the way I saw it, but all the furniture fit right where the 
drawing had them. I have done this since that time to move furniture to new locations. Again, works 
like a charm.
