[CONSTRUCTION SUGGESTION] Accurate Measurement Tool: Add Customizable Units (Meters, Feet, Inches) to Plan Rooms Accurately!

Hello, Krafton and inZOI builders!

The current construction mode is missing a key feature for realistic projects: precise measurement units when creating walls, rooms, and structures. Without this, it’s impossible to recreate environments with real-life dimensions (e.g., a 4m x 2.30m room or a 120cm deep balcony).

The Proposal:
Implement a dynamic measurement system with:

:triangular_ruler: Digital Ruler: Display real-time dimensions when positioning walls, windows, and floors.

:gear: Customizable Units: Option in the settings to choose between metric (km, m, cm, mm) or imperial (ft, inches, yards).

:bullseye: Precision Mode: Enter exact values (e.g., “3.75m”) to lock objects to specific measurements.

:black_square_button: Smart Grid: Enable/disable a grid with adjustable snapping (e.g., 10cm, 30cm, 1m) for perfect alignment.

Benefits:
ARCHITECTURAL FIDELITY: Create floor plans of real houses, staggered furniture (e.g., a 2.10m sofa), or stairs with standardized treads.

ACCESSIBILITY: Plan inclusive spaces (e.g., 90cm hallways for wheelchairs).

EFFICIENCY: Avoid wasting resources when calculating materials (e.g., tiles per m²).

GLOBAL CUSTOMIZATION: Brazilians use meters, North Americans use feet, and miniaturists use millimeters!

Inspiration from Other Games:
The Sims 4 (“bb.moveobjects” mode with customizable grid).

SketchUp (coordinate measurement tools).

Blender (millimeter precision for 3D models).

Usage Example:
text

  1. I activate the “Precise Wall Tool.”
  2. I set the unit to meters (m).
  3. I drag the wall and type: “4” [Enter] → “2.30” [Enter].
  4. The game automatically creates a 4m x 2.30m room!

If you’ve ever tried to build a kitchen with a proportional center island or an accessible bathroom and were frustrated by the lack of precision:

yes, these features would help us a lot in construction mode, and would make our houses more realistic.
