Re: Door swing in plan
Hi
IÂ´m having problem adding a door swing to a door. This is what I do:

1. open a .skp file in SketchUp. Export as 3D model... obj.
2. open furnitureLibrary Editor 1.19. Drag and drop the obj file in there.
3. make changes in the editor and "save library in a different file"
4. In SH3D, Furniture, import furniture library.
= THIS WORKS
Now changing the PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties...
1. Changing MyFile.sh3f to MyFile.zip
2. open/unzip MyFile.zip (makes a folder)
3. open MyFile folder
4. open PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties in TextEdit
5. making changes:

#here is the OLD file...
name#1=Doorjulia16a
category#1=Doors and windows
icon#1=/Doorjulia16a.png
model#1=/Doorjulia16a/Doorjulia.obj
multiPartModel#1=true
width#1=88
depth#1=20
height#1=210
movable#1=false
doorOrWindow#1=true
creator#1=HHG

#here is the EDITED file...

name#1=Doorjulia16a
category#1=Doors and windows
icon#1=/Doorjulia16a.png
model#1=/Doorjulia16a/Doorjulia.obj
multiPartModel#1=true
width#1=88
depth#1=20
height#1=210
movable#1=false
doorOrWindow#1=true
doorOrWindowWallThickness#1=20.0
doorOrWindowWallDistance#1=3.0
doorOrWindowSashXAxis#1=111.4
doorOrWindowSashYAxis#1=30.0
doorOrWindowSashWidth#1=110.0
doorOrWindowSashStartAngle#1=180
doorOrWindowSashEndAngle#1=270
creator#1=HHG

6. save file
7. zip MyFile folder
8. change name of MyFile.zip to MyFile.sh3d
9. Furniture, import furniture library
10. Program tells me its imported. And the sh3f file is created in "furniture" folder.

Nothing shows up in categories.

-------
So my guess is that I can not make these name changes, change a zip file to sh3f file. It has to go through FurnitureLibrary Editor. But I donÂ´t know how to do this after editing the PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties

What am I doing wrong?

Best regards,
Haffi
