Wishlist SH3D v4
WISHLIST SH3D v4

Let me start with some small changes that make life a bit easier:

- do not include floor when exporting OBJ
- do not restart texture on wall with every door or window
- install everything in one directory (easier back-up)
- let user choose installation directory (makes it possible to have different versions on computer)
- no maximum elevation
- auto-save feature
- allow re-organization of standard libraries
- allow deleting standard furniture items one by one
- give virtual visitor fixed size, independent of zooming in or out
- when dragging an object into the design you first have to de-select it before you can edit its properties; right-clicking on the inserted object now opens the “import furniture” window; this often leads to unexpected crashes
- when importing textures allow both values to be larger than 999

And of course there are a few things that probably are not so easy to change or make:

- put floors and walls in the parts list; ideally, make it possible to switch between the furniture list and the walls list
- change the tab-order in the colour picker so that it goes HSV and then RGB (and not HR-SG-VB); also highlight the values when tabbing to make changing them easier (if possible; maybe this depends on the operating system?)
- add layers
- add the possibility to export as “zip” (in the file menu); saves doing it by hand
- make it possible to organise and browse textures in the same way as furniture
- multiple cameras instead of just one
- a solution to “make light”; illumination now doesn't give light: the renderer uses standard settings to light the scene; it would be great to be able to control the individual lighting of the lamps used, and give the scene a more realistic appearance
- better render engine(s)
- in “Modify Furniture” you can check “visible”; ideally there would be two check boxes here: “visible on plan” and “visible in 3D”
- z-axis rotation for furniture
- z-axis rotation for walls; make it possible to make “leaning walls”; not all houses have vertical walls only
- doors and windows that adapt automatically to sloping walls and become sloping as well
- insert multiple objects on top of each other in walls

That's it for today :-)
