Re: Furniture Library Editor released
I'd like the icons for each row to be much larger, or have a larger one pop up when hovering. It's difficult, when checking for duplicates, to see whether you are looking at the same objects without actually opening each of them.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
YGYL, the additional properties are already available for anybody who is ok to set com.eteks.sweethome3d.additionalFurnitureProperties property or to program the plug-in that will prepare the list of properties. The use cases you explain are valid, but I'm not sure that this kind of users or their administrator will agree to prepare the list of properties on each computer where Sweet Home 3D is installed. An administrator will prefer to provide the right SweetHome3D.l4j.ini file or install the right plug-in, this is less error prone, isn't it?
JonnyD, lLarger icons would imply higher rows, so a less usable editor and I don't think that increasing the size of the image shown in the popup would be so helpful since the displayed image is already at its full size i.e. 128x128 pixels.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
I've tested and used the last version. It took me a wile to understand how it work but finally I succeed. - Now I could personalized more easy every library. - I've already add some custom properties to a library needed by future version of Generate Roof plugin. Suggestions (wishes): 1. When a DoorOrWindow is edited to have somewhere a png with explanation of what mean in this case: doorOrWindowWallThickness, doorOrWindowWallDistance and so on. It was published somewhere in the past. 2. When load a library which have already some custom property, to be automatically added in the preferences list. This feature is not so important wile, after I added once it remain there. 3. A visual way to draw sash and cutout. Probably a 2D editor or viewer. Anyway it is much performant now and I could live even without may wishes.
GOOD JOB!

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
EXACTLY!! Many thanks! I think could be useful to be displayed along with modify furniture window when DoorOrWindow is checked. Something like in ShapeGenerator plugin or maybe better.

I had this idea too but I didn't decide how to program it yet. Meanwhile, I posted the links about doors and lights in my initial post about the version 2.0.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Some suggestions: 1. Set Change model position on top 2. When Door or window is checked, 2.1 -in Additional properties table, to be displayed all the properties related to this: doorOrWindowWallThickness doorOrWindowWallDistance doorOrWindowWallCutOutOnBothSides doorOrWindowWidthDepthDeformable At this moment became grayed and only if Modifiable is checked in general settings. 2.2 - on the left of table, under the Change model, to be displayed the png WITHOUT sash. 3. Add a new checkbox for Sash. Sometime is useful for other furniture with doors to see if you could open. 3.1 When checked to add on table the specific properties: doorOrWindowSashXAxis doorOrWindowSashYAxis doorOrWindowSashWidth doorOrWindowSashStartAngle doorOrWindowSashEndAngle 3.2 - on the left to be displayed the png WITH sash

YES! I would love to add sashes to the opening drawers and doors of cabinets. Drawers showing a square sash, and cabinet doors the normal sashes as regular doors and windows have. Implementation could be problematic if you add sashes for the ball deformation (a circle?). All the sashes around a mannequin can possibly be a little too much of a good thing. But for hinges and rails it's a no-brainer.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I'd like to be able to show the properties attached to an object in a list either in the Furniture Library Editor or in Sweet Home 3D, and to be able to change the values at any time. In Sweet Home 3D, you can create a new column of properties at any time, and you can sort the whole thing by a particular column. This would greatly expand the use of Sweet Home 3D!
For example, if you are looking for something, you can see where it is placed with a single mouse click in the item list. Sorting the list as a whole will show you what else is on top of the 2nd shelf of the shelf.
Without this feature, there would be no way to sort or even find it quickly and easily!
