Home Builder for Blender - General

I think 'Home Builder' really needs a website of its own. Just like BlenderBIM does. And a clear documentation. It has a great potential and people should comfortably access these features. I wanted to make a donation for the development of it and I couldn't find any site where I can do so.
Good idea for a dedicated thread - I like it!
@gokermu if you're online we can meet in the chat and I can show you around the wiki which is where we in this project can help with documentation until a project makes its own documentation. @Andyrexic may not feel that the project is ready for documentation, but I'm sure he won't mind someone else describing how it works now.
Here's a stub page for Home Builder.
https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Home_Builder
And here's what I think is a good example of a basic page for software. We haven't really agreed on a format so it's just something I've been developing:

Great start @gokermu ! Recently Andrew uploaded multiple video's explaining how to make your own assets, save them to your library etc, see: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3ZAUNu__wZZumBBy3tCMBQ/videos
In the description of the video on Youtube the link to Homebuilder/PyClone website is found: https://creativedesigner3d.com/ @Andyrexic
yes, I saw the creativedesigner website but what I was talking about was more like https://blenderbim.org . with dedicated documentation, tutorials, etc. I think right now, it's a bit complicated even to download the tool.
I think the first task is to make this page a useful starting point for anyone trying to make use of Home Builder:

The rest needs to be a discussion with @Andyrexic (Andrew Peel)
Hey everyone!
Creating a dedicated Home Builder Website is a great idea. Since it's still pretty early in development I have been focusing on development and documentation rather than creating on an official website. When I get close to an 'Official' release I will start the process of putting this together.
@duncan thank you for creating the wiki page for Home Builder. When I get time I will start to add information to the wiki, but I appreciate anyone who wants to help.
Also, here is the first training series on creating assets for Home Builder. The last video in the series will be uploaded tomorrow.

Hey everyone,
I have just released some information that demonstrates creating 2D Dimensioned Drawings for PyClone Assemblies and information on how assembly data can be exported from Blender. I know BlenderBIM and Archipack have some tools to create the same type of information, but I wanted to put together some information that explains how this could work for Home Builder.
Now that I have a good starting point I am going to be doing some research into how BlenderBIM and Archipack achieve these results.
If anyone has any feedback please let me know.

@Andyrexic has released PyClone 2.92 with drawing generation and more new functions, see: https://creativedesigner3d.com/2021/03/26/new-release-pyclone-2-92/
@Andyrexic this is worth a news article on OSArch.org! Would you like to write some text for it? Ping @bruno_perdigao who is managing this.
