Re: Library for metal construction objects
You guys think to complex for a simple I-Beam laughing

If I had to create it 100% in Sweet Home 3D I would do it like this:
Draw the walls like previously shown but make sure that the inside of the walls measure as what the I-Beam must be. Create a room inside the walls.
Export the room and after import stretch it to the required height. Done. One I-beam with an object size of 7.5kB.

The only problem is that the texturing of the center is diagonal but that could be solved by only using a room to create the top part. Texture, export, import. Copy and flip vertically. Put a box between them for the center. Texture the box before export and after import you have a perfect I beam with nice rounded curves and a minimal object size. And completely created in Sweet Home 3D!
