Here is what is in the New Version of SpaceDesign .

Todo

• Let user define attribute definition libraries to include for attributes (so attributes from new applications can be used)
• get attributes from multiple attribute definition libraries (e.g. RpWalls as well as SpaceDesign). Right now we just use the first one we find.

Next Version (not done yet)

• Added User defined text substitutions
• Added all RpTools features and all NprTools features

• Fixed problem where "Extend from" was not "sticking" to edit attribute wizard properly.

Next Version - Done
