Re: Door swing in plan
Hi Hafsteinn,

Good news is that your property editing looks perfectly valid. Tried them, no problem there, except some odd values, such as the door swing/opening being outside the model, but that should not prevent the file from working. A couple of suggestions based on similar troubles:

Is PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties saved in plain text format?

In step 6: change name of MyFile.zip to MyFile.sh3d - that should be MyFile.sh3f.

I would also suggest a slightly different approach to avoid some problems from zipping. If you send me the file
1. Rename MyFile.sh3f to MyFile.zip.
2. Just open MyFile.zip
3. Copy PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties to another directory.
4.-6. Make changes to the outside file and save.
7. Copy that file back into MyFile.zip (confirm replace).
8. Rename MyFile.zip to MyFile.sh3f.

From here on, it should be enough to double-click MyFile.sh3f for the library to be imported - but Furniture, import furniture library should also work - and result in a correct file being placed in the user directory.

You could also check if the .sh3f file opens in FurnitureLibraryEditor after it has been edited. Sometimes opening and saving a file with FurnitureLibraryEditor will fix the PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties, I have not quite figured out why, but it could be an invalid linefeed (cr/lf, lf or cr).

If you wish, you can send me the edited .zip/sh3f file. A look should reveal what is wrong.
