Sweet Home files on a Mac I've got a Mac at home and another one in my office. I've installed SH3D on both, but I've imported some furniture only on my home mac. Is there a quick way to copy all furniture installed to my other computer? Related to this, for backup purposes, where can I find the exact file structure of SH3D on a Mac? The program itself is in a directory in the Applications folder, that much is clear, but what about all furniture files? Where are those stored? Thanks. |

Re: Sweet Home files on a Mac Maazito: Question 1: First a guess (as I don't use Mac): You can most probably find the libraries that are automatically installed when you look at the subfolder Library/Application Support/eTeks/Sweet Home 3D/ . There probably is a subfolder furniture there. On one Mac delete the contents, restart SH3D and you should have an empty furniture list. <UPDATE> There is very relevant info in another thread : it's partially in French, but the two most important parts are in English. <END UPDATE> Then I would suggest this: on the other PC install SH3D with all your imported files. Then use Furniture --> Export imported furniture to SH3F... This will give you a library that you can then import on your other PC. Question 2: I think Q1 already answered this one.

Re: Sweet Home files on a Mac Maazito, here's the exact structure of user files handled in Sweet Home 3D that you should back up under Mac OS X: - In your home folder, preferences are stored in the com.eteks.sweethome3d.plist file found in the Preferences subfolder of the Library folder (the latest folder may be renamed as Bibliothèque or an other localized name if your system is not in English). - Furniture and texture files, and other libraries are stored in the Application Support/eTeks/Sweet Home 3D folder found in the Library subfolder of your home folder. This doesn't include Sweet Home 3D program itself that you can copy in Applications folder or anywhere else on your disk. If you copy at the same place the users files on an other computer, it will work only if the user name/login on the destination computer is the same. Thus, you'll probably prefer to copy the furniture you added to your catalog, with the Export to SH3F plug-in available at http://sweethome3d.eu/plugins/ExportToSH3F-1.0.sh3p. Download the plug-in on your home mac, double-click on it to install it in Sweet Home 3D, relaunch Sweet Home 3D, choose Furniture > Export imported furniture to SH3F... menu item, copy the created SH3F file on the other computer, and double-click on it to install it there. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |
