3DStreet Core 0.4.4

Epic - Creator Usability

As a professional or first-time Creator...

• I have minimum expectations of usability for cloud SaaS applications -- no broken things! (save / load reliability addressed in separate Editor epic)
• I want to the software to be clear and honest even if it has limitations (reinforce the truth such as dimensions of objects, even if their edit-ability proves challenging at this stage)
• I want to feel proud enough of my created work to share my creation with others and trust their experience will match my expectations

Issues

Improving 3dstreet core parser - clear and honest core usability

• #396
• KF - segment x location match reality #357
• KF - scene graph: better class / ID / "display names" (ie "Segment 1: Sidewalk" instead of "segment-parent-1")
• KF - segment widths match reality #374
• KF - Should NOT use scaleX / defaultModelWidthsInMeters; instead set segment box width to be width in meters
• KF - v1 rename / restructure building placement in scene graph (see #396)
• AG - fix elevation level support #388
• AG - fix cyclist elevation #383 #387
• KF - make ocean block ocean #379
• KF - brown box beneath lot grounds #362
• KF - Next pass at building / ground refactor - show Block1 and Block2 as separate - see #396

User interface behaves as expected

• AG - viewer mode icons should be hidden when in editor mode (see failed attempt here)
• AG hide viewer icons and viewer title in editor mode #369
• KF - always white text for scene graph entity names instead of varying text by class or id or other attribute 3DStreet/3dstreet-editor@53b04b6

Visual quality meets my minimum expectations:

• KF - shadows (cherry pick from beauty shot)
• AG - ground material roughness #340
• KF - new skybox (cherry pick from beauty shot)
• KF - rails extend too far #363
• KF - below ground volume (cherry pick from beauty shot)
