Building Constructor

I actually made this program to ease the the creation of buildings for some project I worked on, called Newcitysim.
but it's suitable for all 3d gamemaker games, since it exports objects as d3d_model (extension .nbf).

Features:
- mouse-controlled, easy to use modeller (thanks to Yourself's 2d to 3d script)
- saving as d3d model
- 7 different standard shapes: block, cylinder, cone, wedge, arch, floor and wall
- Really easy UV-mapping
- automatic normal fixing for basic shapes, it doesn't matter which way you drag, the normals are always good.

Update 2-4-07: recompiled it with Gm7, so it's Vista compatible

New in V1.3:
- mouse-movement
- view/grid changes
- layout updated
- textures now loadable from any folder
- mouse-selection
- doubleclicking an object will center the view on that object
- selecting groups (hold ctrl while selecting)
- group/ungroup (press 'g'/'u')
- various other fixes...

New in V1.22:
- added box where you see the dimension of the selected object.
- fixed bug in properties view of cylinders and cones.

New in V1.19:
- General program settings are now saved in ini-files
- scrolling with right mouse button when uv-mapping fixed

how to get it in GML to gamemaker?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

in the create event of the object put:

//assuming you want to call the model the_model and the name of the file is model.nbf
the_model=d3d_model_create();
d3d_model_load(the_model,'model.nbf');

If you'd want, you can change the extension of the file.
Oh, and don't forget to change the , to . everywhere in the file (just open the file in notepad or something)

Good luck! (though you should definitly check out NewCitySim, we can always use some extra help )

Well, I don't really have any ideas for improvements, but you could fix the bug that causes it to crash when you load a texture:

ERROR in
action number 1
of Mouse Event for Left Pressed
for object obj_options:

Trying to get texture from non-existing sprite.

[L4nt0m]

remember that you have to create a folder called 'textures' in the same folder as where you've put the BuildingConstructor in and put all your textures in there.

[benny]

in the create event of the object put:
CODE
//assuming you want to call the model the_model and the name of the file is model.nbf
the_model=d3d_model_create();
d3d_model_load(the_model,'model.nbf');

THIS IS NOT A REAL FUNCTION! that is not a real function! it says unkown function if you try and put that in.so please inform me how everybody else got it to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY TORMENT ME SO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[L4nt0m]

You got gamemaker v6.1?

[benny]

ooh.i need that.well,no i dont.is it possible to use this with gm6.0?if so,plz tell me how

[L4nt0m]

no, it isn't

[Feohdys]

remember that you have to create a folder called 'textures' in the same folder as where you've put the BuildingConstructor in and put all your textures in there.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I did. It still crashed. I fixed it by using .bmp files instead of .tga, which is odd considering that targa is the standard for textures.
