Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
The beta 2 of the next version 1.12 of the Furniture Library Editor lets you edit the cut out shape of doors and windows, when one object is modified. Will be happy to read your feedback about it...

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Meaning that changing to SVG window paths at the same time will delete the others?
Thanks. Looks good. Much easier than opening .properties file.
ok
PS I guess users who edit SVG cutouts, may also want to change other doorOrWindow properties (and lightsource), so I don't think you should be too afraid of including the more advanced properties too (especially ID which is a pain to add manually), just put them far down in the window saying "optional/advanced".

Thanks for your tests

Of course not, it means that if you select two or more items in the furniture list and try to modify them, then the Customized cut out shape fields for doors and windows won't appear in the modification dialog box.
I don't think you should be too afraid of including the more advanced properties too (especially ID which is a pain to add manually), just put them far down in the window saying "optional/advanced".
I didn't include these properties in the Furniture Library Editor because I fear they would be complicated to understand and handle, but because it would take some time to program a modification dialog box able to display and manage these properties in the Editor. But if you and others are interested, that should appear one day... At the opposite, if you need to edit IDs, I can easily deliver to you a special version of the program that will let you edit that information (it's just an hidden information).

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
The fields for SVG cutout shapes are very small. 20 characters is not very much for the customised cutouts... :-)
No problems with the Beta so far (except the lightsource properties vanished once, but have not been able to recreate so I probably entered a wrong comma or something in the .properties file).
ok
PS: If you have link to the 'special version with ID' it would be great.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
You can type more than 20 characters even if the text field shows only 20 characters, but I'll try to change the layout of the dialog to show a larger text field in a coming version.

I sent you a link to that special version. I'll try to add a preference in a future version to change the list of editable columns.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Thank you, downloaded, much appreciated and enjoyed. Of course, I know I can type more than 20 characters, but my head is spinning (in elliptical arcs, they can be a pain). And seeing the entire path would make it (slightly) easier. But as I doubt adding SVG paths will be a common user pastime, I don't really think it needs to be on your priority list. Will look at more SVG this evening. Thanks for all your prompt responses to silly questions. (And thanks to hansmex for his input. Noted, will do. And .odt is just fine, not need to use .doc/docx ...:-) - will test .odt support for SVG illustrations ...)
ok
PS noticed a very slight Arc offset when specifying SVG (but I suspect the inaccuracy may stem from the .obj file, will check) - if it remains a problem, I will report it.

Never mind. False alarm. Not the .obj file, it was a 1 in the rotation parameter (instead of large-arc-flag) that caused the confusion. Stupid, and I wasted 1/2 looking in the wrong place... :-(
Actually, SH3d deals beautifully with every SVG path I've been able to think of.
ok - overjoyed with the SVG path function in FurnitureLibraryEditor.

Please, use English in this forum (even if issued from automatic translation).
Furniture Library Editor already works under Mac OS X 10.9, but you may have to download and install Java to make it run, for example using the update available at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
