v4.5.8 - Added specific direct extraction formatting for Code Walker (x, y, z) to the Copy Transform clipboard utility.
🌟 HiFi Architecture Builder - Changelog Current Version: v4.5.7
✨ New Features & Major Upgrades 100% Native Live-Sync Inspector: The Object Inspector is now directly tethered to Blender’s native data API. Adjusting the mesh in the 3D viewport instantly updates the UI, and vice versa—zero lag, zero manual refresh.
"Time-Machine" Deep Wipe System: A bullet-proof memory manager. Adjusting animation frames now triggers a deep chronological reversal—rescuing the original mesh, stripping temporary modifiers/vertex groups, and obliterating old Armatures, Actions, YTYPs, and Clip Dictionaries from memory to ensure zero-conflict iteration.
3-Click Export Pipeline: A dedicated "Auto Create Animation GTA 5 🎬" tab. Instantly rig, bake 9-directional looping keyframes, and auto generate clean Sollumz Clip Dictionaries and YTYP Archetypes in seconds.
🚀 UI/UX & Workflow Enhancements Premium UI Redesign: Completely overhauled the sidebar interface. Removed cluttered numbering in favor of clean, categorized panels with professional iconography.
Smart Ghost-Preview Prevention: Hitting "Generate" or "Clear Preview" now automatically resets the active generator to NONE, preventing accidental overlapping previews.
Enhanced Copy Transform: The Inspector now features a dedicated, perfectly formatted "Copy to Clipboard" button for instant XYZ Location, Rotation, and Scale data extraction.
🛠️ Core Fixes & Optimizations Zero-Math Exact Generation: Completely rewrote the generation transform logic. Meshes now generate exactly at the preview's location with 0.001mm precision, preserving native transforms without forced 0,0,0 resets or offset doubling.
Changelog: HiFi Architecture Builder v4.5.0
New Features & Generators (Massive Prop Expansion):
Added Ceiling Fan (Multi-Part): A fully detailed ceiling fan generator.
Added HiFi Toilet Prop: High-quality standalone toilet mesh generator.
Added HiFi Office Sinks: Professional-grade sink generator for office setups.
Added HiFi Office Shower: High-fidelity shower cabin generator.
Added HiFi Billboard: Large-scale outdoor billboard generator.
Added GTA 5 Base Character Statue: 3D character statue mesh generator of GTA 5 Character.
UI / UX Enhancements (User Experience)
Complete Tooltips Integration: Added detailed hover-info (tooltips) for every single slider, checkbox, and button across the entire addon.
Revamped Object Inspector: Redesigned the post-generation inspector with native Blender icons and clear labels (Location, Rotation, Scale) for a premium look.
Bug Fixes & Core Engine Improvements
Fixed Inspector Math Logic (Absolute Override): Resolved an issue where applying coordinates through the Object Inspector would continuously add values (+). It now strictly forces absolute coordinates for 100% precision.
Automated Origin Centering: Fixed a mesh offset bug by programming the Inspector to automatically execute Origin to Geometry before applying new coordinates, ensuring custom props land exactly at the target (0,0,0) location.
Fixed UNDO crash issue. Added Live Viewport Transform Sync.
Added Crescent Moon and 3D Star generators. Multi-file refactor.
Added auto-supporting perimeter walls/rails to Balconies.
Added sloped handrails/supports to Stairs generation.
Perfected Base Z Anchoring: Doors and Windows now strictly stay at floor level.
Replaced Archway Generator with a completely customizable Ramp Generator.
Cleanup Reports now save in a dedicated 'HiFi Builder Reports' folder with timestamps.
Removed Circular Door and prepared environment for advanced pipe routing.
Switched internal boolean engine from 'FAST' to 'EXACT' to fix precision bugs where cuts would disappear when exactly centered.
Added Straight Circular Pipe generator (hollow, anchored horizontally to the floor).
Added L-Shape Circular Pipe generator (90-degree curve).
Added U-Shape Circular Pipe generator (180-degree curve).
Added 45-Degree Circular Pipe generator (Half L-Shape).

Live Preview
Objects now update instantly when you change preview Values.
Move, rotate, and scale previews in real-time before generating.
Universal Inspector
Inspector panel works with all Blender objects, not just HiFi-generated ones.
Load, Apply, and Reset transforms (location, rotation, scale) on any object.
Per-Axis Control
Choose exactly which axes (X, Y, Z) to load, apply, or reset.
Example: Reset only rotation on Z while keeping X and Y unchanged.
HiFi Object Snapshots
HiFi-generated objects store their custom parameters (wall height, pillar radius, etc.).
These can be reloaded or reset at any time.
Transform Apply
load and apply transforms between two objects,
Orphan Data Cleanup Tool
New option to remove unused meshes, materials, images, etc.
Generates a cleanup report for easy review.

Instantly inspect, copy, and reset transforms of any object (imported, default, or HiFi-generated).
Save per-object snapshots and restore them anytime.
Keep your .blend files clean by removing orphan datablocks with one click.
🔹 Recommended Workflow
Choose a generator (Wall, Floor, Pillar, etc.)
Adjust preview values to place and size your object before generating.
Use Inspector to fine-tune transforms or copy them across objects.
Save snapshots for HiFi objects → reload anytime.
Use Orphan Cleanup to keep your file optimized.
