Re: Import a house model from ArchiCAD
I don't think a converter to the .sh3d format exists and I doubt it's even possible to create such a converter. Sweet Home 3D is essentially different from CAD software. Think of it as CAD software for the architect, engineers, and builders and Sweet Home 3D for the interior designer. Two completely different fields.
Use a blue print as Emmanuel advised to draw the walls. That's not to difficult and for the interior design you don't need the technical details a CAD design offers. Then add the furniture which isn't available on the blue prints anyway.

You can import the 3DS or DAE exports you have but they represent the full house (or a floor) as a single object. It's very unlikely that you can use that for designing the interior in Sweet Home 3D. Draw the walls using the blue print as a background image and go from there.
