I have been beating my head against Java UIs and now it hurts.
Importing 3D objects and displaying them is proving to be beyond me so far so I have put it aside to work on the initial set-up interface. So far they should make sense to most people.
From SH3D I mostly want the user to select the levels that will contain the staircase. I use this to determine the total rise which influences the number of steps required, how many landings, etc.
Basic step design is in prototype and looks like this
Step rise selection will be limited (eventually) to integer divisions of the total rise.
I also intend to give alternative nosing profiles beyond the default half-round.
If anyone can give guidance on importing, resizing, positioning and displaying objects in a j3d display canvas I am all ears.
