Models that look like architectural plans
I need to draw some architectural plans for a house project (building permissions and more).

After a lot of false starts with other tools, I discovered that the plan view in SH3D is pretty much sweet for drawing these kinds of things :)

Have even drawn the cross-sections by laying out the vertical walls and rooflines horizontally etc.


But the furniture all looks out of place on these drawings. In normal architectural drawings there are a kind of symbolic line drawing style for things like baths and toilets.

Have found a trick to use depth on windows to get them to show as a line through the white rectangle properly.

But for furniture I've resorted to exporting the plan to svg, using inkscape to convert that to png, pasting into some slideware, carefully rescaling it correctly to 1:100, and then pasting over the normal symbols that I've clipped out of other diagrams.

Is there a way to get architectural line drawings for furniture in SH3D? Or a 3D model library that just looks right for this purpose?
