Hello Pixel_salvaje,
First of all, thank you so much for developing this program.
It seems that the program struggles with depth, protruding ceilings in particular. For testing purposes, I drew a simple farmhouse with a hay bale on its left side. This is the Z-Ortho image file I used:
The goal was to have the beige roof extend slightly beyond the brown rectangle, and having a rounded hay bale on a single side. Instead, the result was the following:

The hay bale was cut in half and the brown rectangle was extended beyond its intended limits, resulting in a displeasing protrusion. However, the fridge example you included by default does seem to have complex depth (the blue box inside the fridge that cannot be seen from the Z-Ortho file). How can one replicate such effect?

Hello DanClypse.
I see the issue... PixZels cannot find hidden extrusions correctly.
As with the inside of the fridge, I need to work out the geometry manually because I can only determine the depth of orthogonal views, not hidden geometry... Not sure If I can add a colour detection to fix that missing geometry.

My workaround is to work on these issues after model creation using selections. It is what works best for me so far. :/

Really cute house :) ... Also need to find a way to fix these slopes, like the roof, to be more pleasant to see.

Many Thanks for your feedback; it helps me a lot in finding issues. :)

Thank you for the quick response! I believe I have found an idea that could possibly solve this problem without the need for complex color analysis, through the use of multiple voxel layers. I separated the house in three different Z-Ortho files: one for the base, one for the roofing, and another one for the hay bale, like so:

I loaded each of them individually in Pixzels, and then combined them in Photopea to demonstrate the shape I originally intended to make:



However, it would be amazing to have all shapes loaded at the same time in the program, so that they can cast shadows on one another, and to easily export several angles. Thanks again for your time and effort!
