Re: script to create a furniture library with 2D Symbols (electrical)
Thank you alberich for putting this script together. I can confirm that it works as intended on MacOS 12.6.6 with SweetHome3D 7.1.1.

For others wanting to use it, you can rename the furniture library that it will create by editing CreateSymbols.sh before running.

The only files you need in the directory are (1) your PNGs named "[name].[information].png", (2) CreateSymbols.sh, and (3) invisibleCube.obj.

You will find that SweetHome 3D won't start if you forget the invisible cube. This can be fixed by manually deleting the imported furniture library. On MacOS it can be found at:
