Re: Furniture Library Editor released
I just tried both shapes under Ubuntu 18 and macOS 10.14 and they worked as expected. Did you try with Sweet Home 3D version available at SourceForge.net?
That's encouraging, so I spent another hour trying everything possible to produce an L-shaped hole in the ceiling for my staircase - without success. I've tried VH encoding, L encoding, my required measurements, the example measurements and a simplified rectangular hole - all to no effect. Always, the ceiling hole is the full rectangular base dimensions. It is not possible to make it smaller. The SVG encoding seems fine. It looks like a bug at the moment. Maybe because the design file is too big? I'm at a loss to explain this lack of custom hole ability.
I'm using the latest version of SH3D, i.e. 6.5 and I've looked inside the SH3F zip file and the SVG line is preserved as expected.
Can you see if you can make an L-shaped hole in this SH3D file with this SH3F staircase?

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Few advises: 1. When you make staircase in real life watch your head! That's why: Look at the head of man (184.5cm tall) Unfortunately I've see this in real life.
staircaseCutOutShape#1= M0,0 v0.645 h0.5 v-0.382 h0.5 v-0.258 z
The second:
staircaseCutOutShape#1= M0,0 v0.789 h0.5 v-0.532 h0.5 v-0.258 z
2.For a precise cut out you have to make some calculations - the red lines represent cut out - to calculate you need to divide the needed dimension to total dimension (vertically or horizontally) For second cut out to find first v0.789 I do 300/380 and so on.
3. When use Furniture Editor and modify a furniture move the preview a little until the program take a new shoot. In this way you avoid the dark background.
5. In future you will have to learn how to make round corners. Good luck

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Really appreciate the work you've done on this and I understand about stair heights, but the file you created when imported into my version of SH3D it still does not create an L-shaped opening, just the usual rectangular opening. If the L-shaped opening works for you, then the file is fine and it must, therefore be either: * SH3D program (v6.5 on Linux) has a bug * I'm doing something wrong with the furniture import (I choose "Staircase")

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
I can confirm, that the staircase posted by dorin does not cut a L-shaped opening (SH3D 6.5 - Ubuntu 20.04). But the L-shaped staircases from the library do exactly what they should do - a L-shaped opening.

Why? 1. I use only linux (pure debian). 2. The file I've send is a sh3f file not only a simple furniture so you don't need to chose the category. Menu -> Furniture -> Import furniture library... (Is next afterImport furniture...) All you need is to import furniture library not only the object. I don't find any other reason to don't work. Try!

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
@hansmex You're rigth but in this particular case is not my model. All I've do was to modify the library made by gr1nch and was destined to him. It was a test file and I don't want to sine others work.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
(I choose "Staircase")
Why?
Because this is what humans intuitively do! I want to import ONE piece of furniture, so I choosed "import furniture". This is totally logical behavior (it seems gr1nch did the same)!
But you're right, I should have known that a library can also have only one piece in it. I should have known as an experienced user that the .sh3f file should be imported via "import furniture library". But even my experience did not overdrive my intuitively behavior.
So, let's say this is not really a bug but a week point of SH3D. Or a point for the "to do list"...

@Birdy You're also right BUT was my fault to don't be more specific when I post my reply; I've induce error!!

Well, make a proposal. Is not very intuitive but for me is enough. Anyway, could be improve with our contribution.
