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.

To be fair it's going to be nontrivial to implement all the codes everywhere. In some cases it's going to be impossible for an app like this to judge - In the UK, for example, there are "permitted development" rights which allow certain things (like a garden office or other outbuilding) without going through a bureaucratic process. But while some of the rules are easy to automate (eg, must be less than 2.5m high) some are not. For example, the UK allows building over 50% of the garden[1]. But if it was just measurement based, you'd be able to build over 50%, then 50% of the remaining 50%, etc etc. So the rule is "50% of the original garden". That's going to be difficult for an app like this to find out.

Oh yeah, not suggesting they try to handle everywhere on Earth. But it would be nice if supported countries/regions was listed somewhere.

I mean the page is in English and they used $ for the currency, how many countries could they really target? /s

What province/state/territory in NZ? I can add it in. We just research the code compliance stuff manually so we couldn't cover the entire world but I can add your case in.

The UK doesn't seem to work, either. (Tried postcode and town)

I can add this in too. Sorry, it might take a bit of time!

Any chance of Western Australia? This looks like a really useful tool and I'd love to give it a proper go here...

There's something funky with the renderer, it looks like perspective is wrong. All vibe coded?

Can you link your scene? It's possible there is an edge case.
Probably better to use perspective as the default like Sketchup.

That's a good reference for what orthographic rendering is, but if you look at the rendered scene it's definitely not orthographic. Parallel lines in the model converge towards the camera when the model is viewed from an angle.

I think it's an optical illusion. It looks weird to me, but comparing it with various objects I have I do feel like they're parallel.
Specifically the roof edge vs base edge, the back of the roof vs the front of the roof.

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?

We actually do want to do more complex interior, and let you add furniture from any catalog. Can I email you on your profile about this?
Edit: back up and working now!
