LLM Prompt for Coop-3D (Upgraded Shielded Design):

Create a 3D architectural visualization using Three.js for the "Tropical Breeze" Chicken Coop module (20'x40').

Core Specifications:
- **Main Structure:** 20' depth x 40' length lean-to built against a 40' shipping container rear wall.
- **Main Roof:** Full coverage across the entire 40' length. Sloping from the container top (9.5') to a 7' front wall. Toggleable between **Galvalume (Grey Metal, 26-gauge, 3/4" corrugated profile)** and **Organic Thatch**.
- **Framing:** 2x4 PT lumber studs and rafters at 6' O.C.

Zoning & Animal Welfare:**
- **Zone A (Roosts):** 4-5 parallel bars positioned near the container. Terminate roosts before the maternity ward to prevent waste from falling into it.
- **Zone B (Nests):** Dual-level bank of 22 milk crate nests along the front half.
- **Shielded Maternity Ward:** A 12'x8.5' internal box in the back-left corner. **Crucial:** Must have its own internal protective roof/shield (semi-transparent) and a separate, dedicated roosting area inside the ward for young birds.
- **Center Aisle:** 3' wide walkway between roosting and nesting zones.

Interactive Features:**
- OrbitControls for inspection.
- GUI to toggle Roof Material, Framing, Container, Interior (Roosts/Nests), and Maternity Wing visibility.
- Legible, non-overlapping info panel with architectural legend.

5. Profit Over 5 Years (BZD)

Assumptions: One 250-bird module; Year 1 averages ~50% output during ramp, Years 2–5 at full output. Monthly net at full output: ~913 BZD (blended 5 BZD/doz + forage + Facility Mgr), ~1,713 BZD (premium 7 BZD/doz + forage + Facility Mgr). Plots show cumulative net profit in BZD by year.
