Put the object library on a network file server? Is there a way to tell this program to look for furniture objects on a Windows network share? This seems a rather useful educational tool, and I would like to predownload the various add-on 3D object packages to a single shared location on a school file server, for every student to use. "\\server\sharename\shared-apps\SweetHome3D-library" The intent here is not that students have to add manually these files to their private library, but rather Sweet Home 3D would know about this location and just automatically use the 3D objects in there. This way more items can easily be added to the district-wide library for every student to be able to access, if needed. ============ I do not know if this software is capable of tree-walking to auto-search library subfolders. If yes, that would make organizing a huge district-wide shared library easier to manage: SweetHome3D-library\appliances SweetHome3D-library\doors SweetHome3D-library\electrical SweetHome3D-library\furniture SweetHome3D-library\mirrors SweetHome3D-library\people SweetHome3D-library\pictureframes SweetHome3D-library\plumbing SweetHome3D-library\vehicles SweetHome3D-library\walltrim SweetHome3D-library\windows ============ Also, I should mention that AppData is not really a good place to be putting 3D object libraries if many people are going to have all the same data in those libraries to use the program, because it gets duplicated in each user's account on the file server. If each student has their own 250 megabyte set of 3D library files, and a school district has 200 students using the program, that's 50 gigabytes the district has to backup every night, and a huge waste of space. It would be far more space-efficient to have a single shared file server library location that everyone uses. |
