### Docking vector logic for improved snapping and docking in the room

We’ve added **docking vectors** to the Room Designer in Roomle, making snapping more powerful and precise. This enhancement allows for smoother alignment of furniture and design elements, improving the overall usability and accuracy of docking in the room.

### Rotation snap

We’ve introduced **snapping points for rotation** in the Room Designer, making it easier to achieve precise angles. While rotating, the current rotation angle is displayed for better control, and the tool now remembers the last rotation, allowing for seamless adjustments when you continue rotating. These improvements simplify the creation of clean and accurate designs.

### Remember the last floor and wall colours and set them as default

We’ve improved Room Designer by remembering your last selected floor material and wall colours. These are now automatically set as the default for any new rooms you create, streamlining the design process and saving you time when working on multiple rooms.

### Custom Sidebar for elements

We’ve added support for **custom sidebar drawers** in the Room Designer! Now, selecting an element in your scene can open a tailored view, providing options for configuring the object or embedding custom content. This functionality enables more interactive and flexible workflows for personalized designs.
