2.0.0

FOR BLENDER 2.8X ONLY
BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY IS BROKEN

Where to start with this release... The driving change was to support Blender 2.8x which was going to require changing a lot of code, so I just re-wrote everything from the ground up. First, there are a couple things that are missing, either temporarily or permanently.

  1. Stairs are gone (hopefully will return when I have time to rethink and rewrite them)
  2. Stone siding is gone (I was never satisfied with the original implementation, and I am hoping to come up with a better one)
  3. Tongue & Groove siding (likely gone forever as it is very different to create than the other siding types)
  4. Roof mirroring is gone (should be back very quickly)
  5. Adding materials directly from the add-on is gone... forever... All faces are given appropriate material indices though, so just manually adding the material to the object works

However, there are a lot of new things though. Most architecture types are now more customizable, update faster, and are more flexible. A couple updates include:

  1. MUCH more flexible cutouts which now work with siding, flooring, and roofing, even if the object was converted originally
  2. More flexible slope cutting on siding
  3. A faster method of converting objects if they are made up of convex face groups
  4. More flooring, siding, and roofing patterns
  5. A better UI layout
  6. Simplier code in the back-end making it easier to add new architecture types

This is an early release, so please report bugs and issues. The following things are a couple ideas I have for the next minor release

  • More testing and bug fixing
  • Mess around with non-convex face groups to help the boolean modifier to work a little better
  • Add roof mirroring
  • Support multi-sided cutouts, like polyons (MAYBE)
