Re: Floors/layers/roofs? And more...
I was thinking about the upper floors and I thought of something like a button that says, "add another floor" and it pastes a copy of the first floor in the window and the user can make the changes that they want.

That's kinda the way I made an upper floor for my model house that I was working on.

If you would like to see it:

Another thing that I was thinking of is the virtual visitor. Would it be possible to control "him" by using the arrow keys? It would make it faster and more fun, like a video game. To control the angle, the user can hold down the "ctrl" button or the shift button while using the up arrow or the down arrow.

Also, can a zoom tool be made to affect the 3D section of the window? Each time I add another part of the house, the 3D view gets too zoomed out. I wanted to add trees to the property and like I said, it made the 3D view way too zoomed out.

I really like SweetHome3D because it's easier for me than Google's Sketchup. Your move/rotate tools are much easier to use and I like the 2D + 3D views.

What program is used to make the furniture? I wanted to get railings for my porch and balcony but I could not find any.
