Open / Close all windows/doors
Thanks for a great program. Using the renders in Home Assistant. The picture-elements card is to show a graphical state of a window or door; open or closed.

Is there an automated way of opening/closing all doors or windows (to a certain literal degree), be it in the interface, or even search/replace some value in the Home.xml that is present in the .sh3d (ZIP) file?

<doorOrWindow id='doorOrWindow-b4a42981-8f51-4c42-a494-355a816b1298' level='level-65b290ae-fe5c-49c5-962a-64b6e26cc07d' catalogId='eTeks#window85x123' name='Small window' creator='eTeks' model='162' icon='161' x='248.46066' y='831.41833' elevation='90.0' width='90.0' depth='44.743702' height='140.0' modelSize='9333' movable='false' dropOnTopElevation='-0.007463522' wallThickness='0.22350736' wallDistance='-8.09938E-7' cutOutShape='M0,0 v1 h1 v-1 z' wallCutOutOnBothSides='true' boundToWall='false'>
    <sash xAxis='0.021872265' yAxis='0.22350654' width='0.9405074' startAngle='0.0' endAngle='-1.5707964'/>
    <transformation name='sweethome3d_hinge_1' matrix='0.91952854 0 -0.15615946 -0.03357417 0 1 0 0 0.9891639 0 0.91952854 0.41869727'/>
</doorOrWindow>

Thanks!

Re: Open / Close all windows/doors
Just add the element <transformation> you found to each <doorOrWindow> element in the Home.xml file.
This will work only for a given model.
