Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.0
Mazzola, thanks for your feedback. I tried again with thin walls and thick walls, and each time the baseboard was correctly cut as expected, whether the wall contains one or more doors with a protruding frame or not.
Treating them as small walls means door depths have to be increased by the depth of the baseboard, which in some cases results in an unnaturally deep door frame protruding from the wall.
No, you shouldn't have to increase the depth of doors and windows. That's one of the reasons why I wrote "baseboards are computed more or less as small walls". Please, describe or send me a case where it didn't work.
I have a thing against rectangular baseboards in real life
I didn't try but maybe, using "baked" texture images that would simulate a shape could make the trick in some cases.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.0
You can add a baseboard along straight or round walls, choose their height, their thickness, their color/texture or use the same one as the color/texture used for their wall side
Brilliant. Tried with numerous openings, and so far, no glitches.
But I also laugh. I like rectangular skirting boards (aka baseboards, skirting, mopboard) in real life. In a house with ever so many corners I am fed up measuring angles and missing by a mm. Rectangular baseboards fit nicely with no angled corners, can be fixed with a bit of acrylic paste, and tops can be rounded with everyday power-tools. And no, I am way too much of an amateur to have a go at baseboards with strange angles, never mind on arced walls. In real life that is...
As to whether doors need to be adjusted, I suppose if you attribute doorOrWindowWallThickness# doorOrWindowWallDistance# to create a doorframe, the door must be adjusted for thicker or thinner walls if you want to match the baseboard (or vice versa). But that, I guess, would be a different problem - the one apparent in the problem of the open door - one of object scaling when inserted in much thicker or thinner walls.
So, while I see the point with nicely sculptured baseboards, I still think this is a really cool feature. It also opens for two coloured walls and wainscoting. With some clever use of textures the effect of a more elaborate skirting board can be created.
And - with no problems as far as I can tell. Very, very nice.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.0
Everything is working fine in this version 5.0. But when are you planning to launch the downloadable version 5.0 of SH3D. Waiting for the same eagerly.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.0
Maz, your bug is really strange. I can't reproduce it and I can't see any reason why older files should behave differently. Please, send me a small file that will help me to reproduce and fix this bug.
Santanu, don't expect the final version 5.0 before weeks. I didn't finish to program the features I want to add, and from past experience, the translation period generally requires at least 2 weeks.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.0
OPENING PROBLEMS
Doors open outwards have a problem
Maybe I do not get the point, but now I have tried with numerous doors and windows. Catalogue ones and different models where I specified the door properties (sash, svg, etc). As far as I can tell, the baseboards work perfectly. Never seen the phenomenon mentioned. Could there be something with the models?
BASEBOARD DIMENSIONS It seems baseboards are limited to 2 cm thickness, but can be very high (?). If so, I am curious as to the reason. The feature is great and I am planning on using it for panels on the low part of the wall (wainscoting). But it could be equally useful for exterior walls where lowest part of the wall is thicker than the rest: a high, thick foundation.
Either way, a thick wainscot panelling or foundation could be more than 2cm thick. Not crucial as there are ever so many workarounds, but in general the 2 cm limit seems a bit odd.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.0
I also wondered about the two centimetres, but when you allow for thicker baseboards, you also need an additional option to colour or texture the top of them. Personally, I would love to see both added as extra features.

The reason is that I don't see why a thickness of more than 2 cm should be necessary, and a higher thickness would require an "additional option to colour or texture the top of them" as Hans said. About the height, it's just that I didn't program any control on it yet. Actually, it should be forbidden to set a higher value for a baseboard height than the wall to which it belongs, so if the user reduces the height of the wall, the baseboard height should start to reduce too as soon as the wall height becomes smaller than the current baseboard height. I admit I was a little lazy on this but I'm going to fix it, even if changing the baseboard height in the back of the user doesn't please me too much (the baseboard height is not visible when the user changes the wall height).
