Re: Import a house model from ArchiCAD
You’ve made a good point about the differences between CAD software and Sweet Home 3D. Indeed, they serve different purposes and are tailored to distinct aspects of design and planning. While CAD is more technical and detailed for architects and engineers, Sweet Home 3D is user-friendly for interior designers who focus on the aesthetic and functional aspects of a space.

Using a blueprint as a reference to draw walls in Sweet Home 3D is a practical approach. It allows you to create a basic layout upon which you can build your interior design. As you mentioned, importing 3DS or DAE files might not be ideal for detailed interior work since they treat the model as a single object, but they can still be useful for visualizing the overall space.
