Is there a max lenght for a SVG cutout string?
After this post I got an itch to solve the problem of 'difficult' cutouts.

I created an algorithm to generate a SVG cutout string from a room object. A room is perfect to create a shape with random curves. Of course the number of points such a room has can quickly run into the hundreds. Limited to 4 decimals every point adds 15 characters to a SVG string. I tested it with 386 points resulting in a string of 5699 characters. There was no problem setting such a cutout for the exported room object and the 'staircase shape' created a perfect hole in the floor.

But where is the limit? Is there a limit? Where does processing become a problem? My tests had no problems and worked very fast. But what happens with a million points? If there is a limit caused by some process in Sweet Home 3D I would like to know it so I can add a check for a maximum number of points.
