Site model: two sealed dock positions on the north gable (depressed
12 m pit + 12 m ramp cut into ground and paving), water treatment
moved clear of the cooling tower, second car/staff gate on the NE
edge with access road to parking, guard house relocated between the
gates, perimeter wall rebuilt continuous on its 0.4 m inset line,
leftover door recesses filled on both envelopes, loading-apron
marking removed. Renders re-exported.
Docs: phase 1 contractor pricing request (PEB spec, PIR envelope,
dock, site works, exclusions, soil caveats).
setViewDirection leaves camera roll unconstrained, so the aerials came
out with a tilted horizon. The camera orientation is now built explicitly
with world +Z projected as the frame up-vector.
Two FreeCAD quirks had to be worked around. setCameraOrientation() goes
through an animated setter (UseAnimation defaults on), so saveImage fired
mid-transition and the roll drifted; setting the Coin camera node
directly avoids the animation entirely. The first call after a standard
view also needs a second application to take, so each render now verifies
up.z equals cos(elevation) before saving and retries if not.
Also tightened framing 20%, since fitAll was zooming out to include the
road strip that runs well past the parcel.
The first pass included two orthographic elevations and a low approach
view, which read the site edge-on and showed no roof. Dropped those.
The set is now six views that all look down: a straight-down site plan,
four aerials at 45 degrees from each corner, and one 35 degree hero shot.
