What’s new in Bookmanager 2

Ability to set shelves dimensions in viewport by moving vertices of dummies splines

Test my books option allows to check if your books 3d models have proper pivot orientations and if not automatically fix them.

There is no need to setup your shelf anymore. Bm2 has a better algorithm for adding polygons and Books rotation option allows you to define books XY orientation on the shelf very quickly.

Big bright books look unrealistic in many copies. This option allows you to define those books so they will be not be cloned and placed by Bm2 in one copy only.
