Re: Modeller 3D plugin Great work! This might make the use of Blender obsolete for most model design tasks. A few remarks & wishes: - Right-click-drag to rotate the model is a little awkward when we use left-click-drag in the Sweet home 3D 3Dview. Perhaps switch with the left-click-drag for the select rectangle. - Transparency doesn't seem to work. - It definitely needs the same reload as the roof generator: when you select a generated model and start the 3D modeller it should load that model. That allows to add changes without having to repeat the previous creation when it was not the latest model in the modeller. For now it can be limited to only generated models but in the future it might be possible to load any model. - The current preview is perspective. This means that you can't drag a selection rectangle to select faces on the front, it will select everything. In some future version it would be very nice to have an orthogonal view (flat) and only select the visible faces with the selection rectangle and not the ones behind it. - Do not clear the selection when you click outside the model. Add buttons to Select all/none. - Very important!: Allow full (vertical) rotation. Currently you can never see/reach the bottom faces. - Also important: add ctrl-Z to undo the last actions. - A drop down for the materials. Allow to add/remove materials. (Even if a new material is not used yet.) Add buttons to (Un)Select by the selected material name. Keep the selection when you select another material to select again. This way you can select all faces for multiple material names and reassign a new material for the combination of selections. - Add smoothing/flat for the selected faces. Don't invent the wheel again, the code for it is out there in multiple versions. A suggestion: make sure you completely license this to YOU with mandatory acknowledgment. You don't want someone else to take credit and make money with YOUR work. Leave only the Sweet Home 3D parts (libs) licensed as they are. You might even think about making this a separate application. You're on the right track. So far this already looks great! Slowly add other options and this will become a very, very important plugin for those users that create their own models or want to change materials or make small changes in existing models. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
