Well, let's be precise: the base is 2mx5m, the wall is centered and has a width of 200mm, so the overall dimensions in plan are 2.2X5.2m.

I am using a version that comes with my OS and I prefer to stick with it for now.
I use AppImage on Fedora, just download that latest 0.19 release or latest 0.20 weekly build and run it, no need to alter your OS provided installation.

Good luck :)

But you are using an early V0.19 dev version that is almost 10,000 commits behind.
Actually, there are only 50 commits between 0.19.1 and git commit 08c3a6b3e709 in src/Mod/Arch and I have found the porblem. It wasn't hard because I created it myself, trying to solve another one. I don't know yet how to fix both, but at least they are diagnosed. Thank you for your help.

Before I could return to my pc to see your file, I guess you have 3 lines connected at 1 point in your sketch. Just do not do that.
Why?

I'd like too to use Sketcher to model the planfoor and then create the walls, but I have some trouble to have different thickness of the wall with sketch and to have loops closed; do you use different sketches or just one master sketch?

It's there any thread or official method/tutorial to design a Floorplan with Sketcher?

[EDIT] ok nevermind, I found this thread to study :D :

Currently having 3 lines connected to 1 point may have unexpected ArchWall result at the moment due to the underlying mechanism.

Having different wall Thickness (and Align) for each edge / Wall Segment of a 'complex' Sketch is bit tricky. Have a look at ArchSketch + ArchWall ( Multiple Width / Individual Align ) = Building Layout Object if you want to try.

Good luck :)

I've seen; I'm trying too to find some solid worflow using sketches for floorplan and make then walls, but as you said it's a bit tricky (at least not solid at all).

I get used to Sketches through building a few models, and using it extensively, with the help of a few features of an experimental add-on.

Maybe you can separately post your model and problems to see if other have a better workflow.

Good luck :)
