The last
version 1.1, announced also in
this article of the blog, fixes bugs on the position of the navigation panel when the user scrolls in the window where a canvas is displayed, brings a better management of the canvas when the window is resized, and also brings the new method [font=courier new]getClosestItemAt[/font] in
HomeComponent3D class to handle picking. In the current version, all objects in a home are pickable except the transparent parts of doors or windows, allowing you to pick objects visible through window panes!
Once I found out how to run the plug-in on a headless web server (as explained
here), I also decided to add a new
service on sweethome3d.com that lets registered users upload their .sh3d files on the web server to view them in 3D, like in
this example. This should help the ones among you who wants to show their designs without the need to have their own web server or even run the
Export to HTML5 plug-in on their computer.
At the moment, this service allows
.sh3d files with a maximum size of 15 MB which should be enough for small to medium designs. Don't forget to save and compress your
.sh3d files with Sweet Home 3D before uploading them, to avoid useless upload traffic and to be able to upload larger designs.
