So when I get the SH3D bit finished, would you mind taking a look over it?
For sure. One question: are you planning to build a plugin or a derived version of the main program?
I refer you to my previous comments regarding my lack of Java skills
I now have it working perfectly, but I've done it by hacking on chunks of HomePane.java and OBJWriter.java.I wouldn't know how to separate it to make a plugin, but I guess I can take a look at the guide. Maybe I can figure it out. I definitely wouldn't do a derived version as in my own version of SH3D, not for such a minor feature. I was thinking of submitting it as a patch to the ticket I raised in SF.
The only thing I can see to change now is to have rooms separate the floor and ceiling, otherwise you can't easily see the aerial view without messing around. That a nice to have, and first I have to get the collection division working in Blender. Back to lovely Python, ahhh... and the Blender API, AHHHHHGGGGHHHH!
Mostly this is scratching an itch I have. I need to get some planning grade diagrams. My path currently is going to be SH3D -> Blender (model finessing) -> FreeCAD (using the Technical Draw workbench for 1:50 scale plans, elevations and sections. I could use Blender further for the prettied up 3D renders.
If FreeCAD proves uncooperative I have the option of exporting from Blender to SketchUp, and holding my nose and Stumping up for the Pro version that includes Layout which also does good elevations, sections etc., but £235 per year is a bit rich just to get access to Layout.
