BTW, I think the fact that ChatGPT thinks this is "a known and normal visual artifact in Sweet Home 3D's 2D plan view" means I'm not the first one to comment about it online - ChatGPT must have seen discussion about that somewhere.
You mean on the right furniture piece just on the right edge of the screenshot? The little grey loop hanging from the bottom? OH ... I just figured out what you mean. You mean literal physical handles on the desk model, not virtual handles for manipulating the model. I had been wondering what those were. Now that I understand that those are DRAWER HANDLES. So what it's doing makes sense. I hadn't realized those were part of the desk model (I thought, wrongly, that the desk model appeared as a simple...
