Re: Furniture import tips - Linux
Hello, and welcome back to the SH3D community! It’s great to see experienced users like you sharing helpful tips, especially for Linux users who may encounter unique challenges. Your step-by-step guide for importing furniture models is incredibly useful, and I’m sure many will appreciate the clarity.

The process you outlined—downloading models from the provided link, extracting them, and placing the .sh3d files in the correct directory—is straightforward and should make importing much smoother. Restarting SH3D to refresh the furniture list is a great reminder, as it’s easy to overlook that step.

Your note about the issues with external screens is particularly valuable. It’s frustrating to deal with software crashes, especially when working on creative projects. For users with dual monitors, this could save a lot of time and headaches. Perhaps suggesting that users temporarily disconnect external displays during the import process could help others avoid similar crashes.

I agree that adding this information directly to the import models page would be beneficial. It’s always helpful to have troubleshooting tips readily available, particularly for less experienced users who might not know how to resolve these issues. Maybe a community member could propose this suggestion to the developers or contribute to an FAQ section.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and insights! The SH3D community thrives on knowledge sharing, and your contribution is sure to assist many users in enhancing their design experience. If you have any more tips or if you run into further challenges, feel free to share! Happy designing, and enjoy your time using Sweet Home 3D!
