Re: How to provide floor plan parameters in a file
Exactly the info I was seeking and works great...except for textures! Once added to an open file, textures are saved in Home.xml (of the .sh3d zip) perfectly. But the program seems unable to find even its own textures and refuses to open any xml that contains one.

Is there a trick to make this work?

To replicate, create a new file, add walls and rooms with colors only, save, open the .sh3d zip and extract Home.xml. See that the program opens the .xml as expected.

Now repeat the above steps but add just one texture before saving. The program will then throw an error instead of opening the .xml.

To verify the texture is the cause, manually edit the .xml to remove the texture and see the program return to opening the file normally.

I've done everything obvious to help the program find its own texture, but nothing has worked. This is the only obstacle blocking the usage of spreadsheets for composition.

Longtime sh3d tinkerer (and admirer), hope to be a hardcore user shortly.
