Re: Change Texture Plugin Version 1.1
Change Texture Plugin Version 1.1: https://sourceforge.net/p/sweethome3d/plug-ins/12/

Version 1.1 simplifies the user interface and adds texture icons to the selection panels.



Instructions: The plugin's interface shows three panels. You may interact with the panels in any order. The following interaction would be typical:

  • Under the Tools menu choose Change Furniture Textures.
  • In the left From Texture panel select the texture to replace, .
  • The right Furniture to Modify panel will then show any furniture using the selected From Texture. Optionally alter the selection of furniture (using click, shift-click and ctrl-click).
  • In the middle To Texture panel in the middle, click the replacement texture.
  • Click Change Textures to perform the change.
  • Repeat to make other texture change.
  • Click Close to close and exit the plugin.

Installation:
Download the plugin jar from the link at the top of this post and copy it into your Sweet Home 3D plugins folder. According to the plugin Developer's Guide...
The appropriate folder depends on your system as follows:

  • under Windows Vista / 7 / 8, this folder is C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D\plugins,
  • under Windows XP and previous versions of Windows, this folder is C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D\plugins,
  • under Mac OS X, it's the subfolder Library/Application Support/eTeks/Sweet Home 3D/plugins of your user folder,
  • under Linux and other Unix, it's the subfolder .eteks/sweethome3d/plugins of your user folder.

Limitations: Some pieces of furniture have inbuilt textures. These textures won't appear in the From Texture Panel. If you want to use this plugin with furniture with inbuilt textures, first use Modify Furniture to replace the inbuilt textures with textures from the Sweet Home 3D catalog. For example, to experiment with kitchen benchtop textures I first set all the bench unit's tops to normal catalog textures, once that was done I could use the plugin to bulk change the textures for all work surfaces.
