Here's the Beta 16 with the following new features and bug fixes:
- Recovered auto saved files at program launch to let user review them after a crash. I reproduced the auto save / auto recover behavior of MS Word in Sweet Home 3D. Please try if it works correctly, by simply crashing the program and relaunching it.
- Added Arc extent spinner to Wall modification dialog to adjust round wall after its creation.
- Added Unchanged / Mat / Shiny radio boxes to Furniture modification dialog to control furniture shininess.
- Placed by default the compass at the left of the plan for existing homes (thank you Hans for this suggestion).
- Kept a free zone at the furniture center of small pieces to be able to move them without deselecting them first.
- Took into account light furniture angle to place correctly the light sources it contains.
- Reviewed 3D normals in the furniture models of the default catalog to ensure these pieces render correctly (I'm still astonished that nobody complained about that one during all the past years!)
- Added the five following lights to the default catalog (I felt that new users who didn't install any SH3F files yet, wouldn't understand the purpose of lights if they had only light sources!).
Floor uplight
Spot light
Pendant lamp
Work lamp
Wall uplight
This will probably be one of the latest beta version with new features. I may add mouse wheel zoom on cursor if it isn't too difficult and fix a few minor bugs, but globally, I feel we have now a pretty nice version 3.0 within reach.
Thus, it's going to be translators' turn and I'll try to improve help files to describe how to create photos and videos with lights.
Thank you for your support
