Re: Where's the noob section? Is this the right software to create a 2D building site plan? The description says SH2D is "interior design" software. I see images of site plans prepared using this program, but I'm not finding the simplest features, like how to draw a circle. If Sweet Home 3D is the correct software for you depends on what you want to create. It started as an interior design program but it has evolved into software that can do much more. However, it is NOT software to create an official building plan.You can create a plan to give an architect a very good idea about what you want but it requires professional software to create the plans that a contracter can use. You have to understand that the main purpose of the 2D plan is to create a 3D view of a home. This means you don't "draw a circle" in the 2D plan, you draw walls, floors, and add furniture. Sweet Home 3D is used in very different ways by many different users. Some create very detailed complete homes, other create scenes to render photo's. Some use it to create 3D models of furniture or draw a plan of their existing home to have a way to see different results for rebuilding the interior or add additions to the house. Don't expect to create a plan that a contracter can use to build a house. If you are not sure if Sweet Home 3D is the program for you then browse through this forum and see what other users do. It will give you a very good idea about what is possible and what not. There are some features specifically for a 2D plan. Search for "2D symbols" that are used for identifying electrical outlets and look up the Wirings plugin. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
