Plan meta data
Thread 8326 asks for something that I think may be the archive information always put on architectural drawings. The box placed in the corner so it is visible when pulling the rolled drawing out of its container. If so, I suppose the answer is using the text-tool or something.

But something else springs to mind. Meta-data can be found in .sh3d files already, such as <compass .../> with location data. But while there are model information fields, there is, as far as I know, nothing equivalent for the plan as such. What if there was a Plan Properties field (possibly combined with the Compass) to enter some of the basics, such as:
Generator
Title
Description
Subject
Keywords
Initial Creator
Creator

(randomly copied from list of ODF metadata - what is nice is that Windows file explorer and probably others too, can display those properties in the detailed file list).

Possibly someone has developed a meta data structure for house plans which would make sense also for SH3D and be attractive for users?

ok

PS - by the way, getting a bit carried away. EXIF data for images would be nice too, or whatever standard (?) must be used for .png. Would be nice to store information about location, angle time and date along with the rendering.
