Heya I'd love to help! Could you shoot me a note to my email in my bio? I didn't see a way to reach out from your profile.

Yes - we only charge for the building plans. So it's $50, but you get to revise as many times as you want. Others have found this really useful for zoning/HOA/permit approval so far.
Everything else like designing, materials lists, code compliance - we intend to keep free.

We actually do want to do more complex interior, and let you add furniture from any catalog. Can I email you on your profile about this?

I think you might be talking about how the camera uses orthographic rendering? This article explains it well https://manual.keyshot.com/keyshot11/manual/cameras/lens-set...

Can you link your scene? It's possible there is an edge case.

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.

We just got the hug of death. Fixing it - sorry about that! You can clone this scene and start designing from it for now https://myhomecat.com/scene/classic-cottage-137134ef

You can plan and design your projects without spending weeks/months on research and understanding how construction and code compliance works. It'll also help you save time/money from having to make extra runs to the hardware store or if you end up making the wrong cut/connection if you DIY the first time.
You can say what you want, and the tool has appropriate guardrails to make sure what you're going to build is safe.

Have you started designing? If you're open to it - I could help you jump start this and give you a few designs for free based on what you're thinking about.

Heya I'd love to help you bring it to life and DIY it. I'm working on https://myhomecat.com/ - which lets you design a code-compliant version and you can fiddle around with budget, needs, etc. I've helped other folks with step by step guides after they've created a design they're happy with.
Can I ask you how you're designing it right now? I could whip up some designs for you for free.

Building a home office in your backyard is really hard. It's a good idea (though expensive) to go with a pre-built if you don't wanna figure all the details out. If you DIY the design and build, you have to figure out:
- What type of floor? (2x4? 2x6? will it hold me and my chair without collapsing?)
- What roof type? How big should the overhang be? What's easier to build yourself vs looks nicer but a real pain to build?
- How many windows should be in my office?
- How do I build something within my budget?
- What size of shed should I go with for my purpose? (workshop? office?)
I'm working on https://myhomecat.com - which lets you do all of this. If you enter your address and the kind of shed you want (i.e. 10x12 office), you should be able to get something fully code-compliant that figures out all of your details. It's still early so it doesn't cover every edge case, but the idea is there and it works really well from the feedback I've gotten.
