Re: SH3D and IFC
The project Sweet Home 3D BIM Plugin hosted on SourceForge.net doesn't seem to have gone very far.

A few years ago, I worked on IFC format support for Sweet Home 3D with the help of another developer, but the plug-in still needs some refinements before being published. It's not so motivating because there aren't so often requests about this feature. My feeling is IFC / BIM world doesn't seem to match the target of Sweet Home 3D. The few IFC examples we could find at that moment were rare and generally reproduced big buildings. Not really the same thing as Sweet Home 3D, where you can find many examples (probably because it's open source), reproducing not very large homes. But maybe this changed during the past years...
