Parametrically defined or scripted home Hello, first of all, thanks a lot for this amazing program! I would like to use SweetHome3D "parametrically". As a minimum example, assume a rectangular room surrounded by walls. I would like to have an option to resize the room based on given dimensions (width and height), without a need to redraw it manually. In reality, I would have many such rooms and walls, stacked together, dimensions of each room being independent parameter and I would like to define these parameters and see the result "easily" (without manual redrawing). In an extreme case, the home would be "scripted". Is it somehow possible currently? If no, I would create a Python tool for this kind of scripting, producing a XML file loadable by SweetHome3D. Would anybody be interested in such feature? Just if I should publish the code once it is eventually finished. Thanks Jan |

Re: Parametrically defined or scripted home Even if only as a thought experiment, it would be interesting to see how such a script would work. It seems to me relatively easy to define a set of rooms with a few basic parameters, but how would you define the placement of rooms relative to each other? Recently, I've played around a bit with AI generators, and although they produce something that vaguely resembles a house, they're impossible to live in because of the haphazard orientation of the rooms.

Re: Parametrically defined or scripted home Jan, why not trying to program your idea in Java from a plug-in? You would have no need to generate a SH3D file, just have to call Sweet Home 3D API. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

H Thanks for the reply. The placement of the rooms would be defined basically as "first wall width + first room width + second wall width + second room width + ...". I did not meant automatic room placement. As an example, I have a long hall (hallway, corridor, ...) with several rooms on one side. My use case would be something like: - what if I switch these two rooms (which would shift all other rooms and would need complete redrawing), how would it look like? - what if I enlarge this and this room and make this room smaller, what would it look like? - ... |

Re: Parametrically defined or scripted home Jan, why not trying to program your idea in Java from a plug-in? You would have no need to generate a SH3D file, just have to call Sweet Home 3D API. Thanks for the reply. Using Java and the SweetHome3D API, I am able to create a home programatically and save it, so basically what I was looking for, thanks for the tip. Still maybe I will play with the possibility to use Python :-) but it is a secondary problem, left for my leisure time. Thanks Jan |
