Re: 2 Wishes. Could be simple, not sure.
1. I wish there was a scalable#1=false method that I could add as an attribute to objects in my properties file. Sometimes I want objects to have an absolute dimension that can not be scaled by an end user. Essentially a disable scaling option for imported objects.
There's already a resizable# boolean property that prevents the user to resize a piece, and there's also deformable# boolean property that obliges an object to be resized along all dimensions.

2. I wish that the centerline in the wall geometry did not export to the .obj file. I understand that the centerline is needed to create the walls, but when I export to .obj it creates an exponential amount of unnecessary faces that I find myself doing a lot of manual work to remove.
A wall is divided into parts to let the user be able painting its top part and its both sides with different colors. The only thing I could do is simplifying the wall shape when it uses only one color, but I don't think it's worth it.
