Re: importing models from CAD create SH3D furniture models without extra steps from my manufacturing CAD models Whether or not this is possible depends (probably) on which formats you can save or export from your CAD program. When restricting your choices to open source software, I guess Blender offers the most possibilities through its large number of import and export formats. How do you use .obj format to get parameterized windows for instance? I even don't understand the question. Is there more added to the .obj text file that helps you stretch a window, shelf, counter, etc? I even don't understand the question. Is there a tutorial for window/door creation? Check the menu at the top right of this screen. Click on Documentation, User's Guide and Video Tutorial. Is there a way to reuse such models with Blender? Other 3D editors? I guess this question should better be asked at the Blender forum. What do you usually use to create furniture models? Depending on your needs you can use SH3d itself, Blender, Misfit Model 3D, Art of Illusion or several other programs. Are any of the usual ones in BREP form good for CAD? I wouldn't know. I even don't understand the question. What is BREP? What is used to make all those .3ds models listed at http://archive3d.net/ ? Seems a good idea to ask that question to the authors of the models. GENERAL REMARK SweetHome 3D is primarily meant to make interior designs in 2D, that can be viewed in 3D. Recently a few rather powerful features have been added that make it possible to have excellent visualizations of the interior of your room or house. SH3D has never been intended as a (part of) CAD or CAM or CAE solution, and doesn't offer muchin the form of interfacing with such programs. OBJ and 3DS files (NOT 3ds-max) can be imported, but that's it. I have the feeling you need a tailormade solution in AutoCad or a similar high specs program.
