Feature Request: Add New 2D & 3D Models to Furniture List

Problem

Currently, the furniture list lacks the ability to dynamically add new 2D and 3D models. This limits the flexibility and extensibility of the system, requiring manual updates or code modifications to incorporate new furniture assets. Users need a streamlined way to integrate their own or newly acquired 2D and 3D models into the existing furniture catalog.

Proposed Solution

Implement a feature that allows users to add new 2D and 3D models directly to the furniture list. This functionality should include:

1. User Interface for Upload/Selection:

   • A clear and intuitive UI element (e.g., a button, drag-and-drop area) for users to upload or select new model files.
   • Support for common 2D image formats (e.g., PNG, JPG, SVG) and 3D model formats (e.g., OBJ, FBX, GLTF/GLB).

2. Metadata Input:

   • Fields for users to enter essential metadata for each new model, such as:
     • Model Name
     • Category/Type
     • Dimensions (if applicable)
     • Price (if applicable)
     • Description
     • Tags

3. Preview Functionality:

   • A preview mechanism to display the uploaded 2D image or a render of the 3D model before it's permanently added.

4. Integration with Furniture List:

   • Seamless integration of the newly added model into the existing furniture list, making it available for selection and use within the application.

5. Error Handling and Validation:

   • Robust error handling for unsupported file types, corrupted files, or missing metadata.
   • Validation to ensure data integrity.

Potential Benefits

• Increased Flexibility: Users can easily expand the furniture library with custom or new assets.
• Improved User Experience: A more intuitive and self-sufficient workflow for managing furniture models.
• Reduced Development Overhead: Less reliance on developers for updating the furniture catalog.
• Enhanced Customization: Enables users to personalize their projects with a wider range of furniture options.

Acceptance Criteria

• Users can upload valid 2D image files (PNG, JPG, SVG) and have them appear in the furniture list.
• Users can upload valid 3D model files (OBJ, FBX, GLTF/GLB) and have them appear in the furniture list.
• Users can input and save metadata (Name, Category, Dimensions, Price, Description, Tags) for each uploaded model.
• A preview of the uploaded 2D image or 3D model is visible during the addition process.
• Newly added models are correctly displayed and selectable within the furniture list interface.
• Appropriate error messages are shown for invalid file types or upload failures.

Additional Context

• Consider potential storage implications for uploaded models.
• Investigate existing libraries or APIs that might assist with 3D model loading and rendering.
• Define the exact scope of metadata required for different types of furniture.
