Cover

A cover follows the position of its entity (current_position, from 0 closed to 100 open): a roller shutter slides into its box, a roller shade rolls up, a curtain gathers to one side. A venetian blind also turns its slats with current_tilt_position.

Option	Default
pane		The object that goes away when the cover is open.
side		up, down, left or right: the way it opens.
motion	slide	slide, shrink or none (below).
slats	none	The object with the slats of a venetian blind.
tilt_closed	80	The angle of the slats at tilt 0, in degrees from the model.
tilt_open	0	The angle of the slats at tilt 100.

Closed (current_position: 0)	Open at 45% (current_position: 45)

Motion

• slide: the pane slides toward side, and a plane hides what goes past the edge, into the box of the shutter.
• shrink: the pane gets shorter toward its side instead, as a roller shade rolls up or a curtain gathers to one side. No plane cuts the model, and the other objects of the cover (the bottom bar of a shade) follow the edge.
• none: the pane stays where it is and only the slats turn.

Venetian blinds

slats names the object with the slats. They turn with current_tilt_position, each on its long side. They can be in one object with the rails and the cords, as Sweet Home 3D exports a blind: the card turns the pieces that are long and equal, at least three of them, and leaves the rest as it is. tilt_closed and tilt_open are the angles from the model at tilt 0 and at tilt 100, for slats drawn open; for a blind whose slats are horizontal at 50, tilt_closed: -80 and tilt_open: 80.
