Floor and Ceiling
First of all congratulations for your excellent work!

As part of my architecutral dissertation I would like to adapt SH3D Applet to calculate inside temperature of a room. I started to derive classes and added another panel besides plan and 3d for this purpose. this works well.

but now comes the harder stuff for me as a java semi-pro. I got 3 questions for now:

- For energy calculations of course i need detail information about the layers of all the room bounding building parts. for the walls it shouldn't be a problem i guess - adding additional info to a derived wall, but how should i do with ceilings and floors, because the model is not containing floor and ceiling parts. I would appreciate any hint that would lead me into a good direction, before I start doing it on my own ideas, which might not be as good.

- Another thing would be the creation of the walls - would there be any possibility of creating them not on the center-line, but on the borderline of the wall?

- I'd like also when selecting a wall that it shows coloured (while selected) in the 3d view. i tried adding a Selectionlistener to Homecontroller3d, but from there i got no access to the plancontroller, which would allow me to check if it is in creationstate or not, because now its getting coloured already while creating). Any hint for me here?

I am working hard to get better into this and not bothering you with such questions, but at the beginning a few hints would be great.

Thank you so much!
Cheers, Joe
