This looks most useful when layout, permit prep, and basic visualization need to stay connected. The main tradeoff is scope clarity: people need to know where code and address support applies before they invest time.

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 Edit: back up and working now!

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.

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?

3D design of backyards look great!! Did you use three js for the 3D effects? As recently I built 3D town and have used Three js, and want to take this forward.
