Hijacking a bit, sorry: I already built the space, but I just filled it with old, mismatched, clunky furniture. Is there some sort of designer site where I could play with furniture, apart from Ikea?
Americentrism? Code compliant where? I tried my place in New Zealand, but the address isn't recognized. I couldn't find anywhere on the site what countries/regions are accepted.
To be fair it's going to be nontrivial to implement all the codes everywhere. In some cases it's going to be impossible for an app like this to judge - In the UK, for example, there are "permitted development" rights which allow certain things (like a garden office or other outbuilding) without going through a bureaucratic process. But while some of the rules are easy to automate (eg, must be less than 2.5m high) some are not. For example, the UK allows building over 50% of the garden[1]. But if it was just measurement based, you'd be able to build over 50%, then 50% of the remaining 50%, etc etc. So the rule is "50% of the original garden". That's going to be difficult for an app like this to find out.
What province/state/territory in NZ? I can add it in. We just research the code compliance stuff manually so we couldn't cover the entire world but I can add your case in.
That's a good reference for what orthographic rendering is, but if you look at the rendered scene it's definitely not orthographic. Parallel lines in the model converge towards the camera when the model is viewed from an angle.
Edit: back up and working now!
[1] it's slightly more complicated than this
