SurroundRoom Plugin
Hello SH3D community!
I developed a plugin that surrounds a room with a piece of furniture, externally or internally, in 3 different ways. Both the room and the furniture must be selected at the same time on the plan.

This is the direct download and is also on SourceForge (please download the version 1.1 instead of 1.0, due to compatibility problems).

These are the steps for surround a room with the plugin:

Step 1.- Select the object and the room.

Step 2.- Select â€œToolsâ€ in the principal menu and select â€œSurround roomâ€¦â€

Step 3.- Customize the way in which the room will be surrounded.

Result:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is another example using the plugin:

Step 3.- Select â€œSurround internallyâ€

Result:

Hope you like the plugin!

Re: SurroundRoom Plugin

@Ollie
It's a good start! Keep going!
@Keet
I've test it and NO, not this time. Maybe in the future.

@Me
While this plugin act as a multiplier what if it will be added as feature to the current Multiplier?
Could be BUT not before to have a more performant (customizable) polyline in the main program.
What's in my mind:
The Art Off Illusion (java) have the option to draw objects (or extrude) along a curved line especially to make pipes.
Could be a good source of inspiration.

Re: SurroundRoom Plugin
Iâ€™m afraid the plugin just presents a warning that no room is selected for me - even when it is.

Re: SurroundRoom Plugin
@Ollie
JonnyD is right, but don't despair. I've encountered the same problem at the beginning and Emmanuel have helped me.
Now it's my turn.
You have to verify first if the home have more levels.
Study of case:

Level selectedLevel = getHome().getSelectedLevel();

-New file; draw a room; add an flower and select both. Run the plugin => OK.

selectedLevel = null

-On the same file add a level and then delete it.

selectedLevel != null

Run the plugin => Not OK.

So, in my Select/Hide Special plugin I've use something like this:

if (selectedLevel == null || selectedLevel.isVisible()) {
   userView = new SelectHideView();
   contentPanel = userView.createComponents(resource);
}

Of course probably you will need other conditions.
Feel free to take inspiration from other plugin sources. I do it all the time.

Re: SurroundRoom Plugin
@dorin thanks for detecting the source of the error and for recommending a way to fix it. I also detected that if the furniture angle is not at 0Â° it doesn't surround the room well. In version 1.2 these problems will be solved, which I hope to finish this month.
In version 1.3 I will add more ways to surround rooms, being able to surround curved lines and more customization to surround rooms.

Re: SurroundRoom Plugin
Hello community! the version 1.2 is ready, with the problems mentioned fixed.
If there is something wrong with the plugin or you have any suggestions, let me know.
