Thanks for your feedback
Here's today the version 2.0 Beta 6 of the Furniture Library Editor which proposes the following changes:
- User defined properties appear in Italic in the Furniture properties and Additional properties lists shown in preferences pane and furniture modification dialog box.
- If present, the trailing digit of an imported model file isn't removed anymore (the reason why I introduced this was to avoid showing these numbers when a user imports models from the free 3D models page where similar models like Office chair has the same file base name).
- I also added an option in the preference pane to use imported model file name as default furniture name, and not an interpreted more human readable one.
- The furniture name of an imported zip file containing a entry named model.dae (often found in 3D models available at Trimble 3D Warehouse) is now based on the zip file name itself, instead of the useless "model" name.
- I added support for JSON format export when the saved library name ends with ".json".
This will create the furniture library .json file, the sibling language .json files if any, and will export all the images and models referenced by the library. So, prefer to export a library in an empty folder (or one prepared for this purpose), or you may be flooded by files you may not have expected.
Once these .json files and their resources are ready, just move them on the server where you host Sweet Homed 3D JS and update the configuration parameters furnitureCatalogURLs and furnitureResourcesURLBase of the application, and you'll get your library instead of the default one.
You may cite more than a library in furnitureCatalogURLs parameter, but they'll share the same URL base, so you may have to adapt the icon#, planIcon# and model# properties found in the exported library .json file to make the URL base work.
A similar JSON export feature will be proposed in the version 2.0 of the Textures Library Editor (then update texturesCatalogURLs and texturesResourcesURLBase application parameters).
[Note: Final versions of Furniture Library Editor 2.0 and Textures Library Editor 2.0 were released on 09/22/2023]
