Furniture Library Editor released
Hi,

I'm proud to announce the public release of the Furniture Library Editor, a long awaited tool that will help Sweet Home 3D users create and manage SH3F files.



The program is available as a 14 MB JAR executable file (see the end of this post for updated links), and requires you installed Java 6 or a more recent Java version on your machine (or reuse the Java version embedded with Sweet Home 3D installer when available).
The easiest way to launch it is to double-click on the file. If this method fails, choose open or launch with Java in its contextual menu, or open a Terminal window and run the command:

java -jar FurnitureLibraryEditor-2.2.jar

Supported system are Windows, Mac OS X 10.4 to 14, Linux 32 bit and 64 bit.
If you look for a nice icon for it, take this one based on a nice 3D model made by Pencilart:



This tool will let you import more than a piece of furniture at a time either with a classic file dialog displayed by the Import furniture tool, or by dropping the files in the window of the tool if your system supports this feature.
Once they are imported, you may modify each piece one by one, or by group after selecting them. As the screen capture shows, the modification dialog displays all the attributes of a piece of furniture (for those interested it's even possible to edit prices or resizable attribute after a small modification in program).
Compared to the Import Furniture wizard available in Sweet Home 3D, I also added the optional ID text field (when a piece has an ID, any other piece with the same ID won't appear in the furniture catalog of Sweet Home 3D), 3 buttons to multiply size by common values (x 10, ÷ 10, x 2.54), the ability to change 3D model file and fields to edit doors or staircases cut out shape. The 3D preview allows zoom and rotation around two axes, and each time you drag and drop the mouse in the 3D preview a new icon is created for the current piece.
Once a SH3F library is saved, you can import it in Sweet Home 3D with its Furniture > Import furniture library menu item, or a double click under Windows and Mac OS X.

This tool is also a translation tool that will help translators to localize more easily SH3F files: the name and the category entered in the modification dialog depends on the language chosen in the tool bar, and when you select a new language in this drop down list, all the categories belonging to the 12 default categories of Sweet Home 3D are automatically translated into the selected language, if the language belongs to the 21 ones supported by Sweet Home 3D at this time.

Caution, there's no undo/redo feature. I didn't feel it was really necessary. As always create backups to ensure you won't loose your work.

Note that from version 1.26, this tool is also able to open Sweet Home 3D default catalog contained in the Furniture.jar file. In case you want to update this catalog (deleting items, renaming them, changing their default size...), remove Furniture.jar from Sweet Home 3D installation folder, edit it with the Editor, save it as a SH3F file and reimport the new library in Sweet Home 3D.

For interested programmers, source code is committed in the FurnitureLibraryEditor SVN module separated from SweetHome3D one.
Furniture Library Editor project is derived from Sweet Home 3D project and uses a similar MVC architecture.
Project contains a README.TXT file with compilation directions.

I hope this tool will be useful and that you'll like it. biggrin

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Emmanuel:

The version 1.0 beta 5 has the following small problems:
- When you right-click in the list with imported items, the last selection says "Selectionner tout". I guess that should be "Select all"
- I make a new library by importing the models with "Import furniture" and then I save it with "Save library in a different file". "Create a new library" seems to work as a "clear screen" command, and only deletes the library that is in memory? Maybe the names of these command should be changed?

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Thank you Hans for your feedback. I updated the editor accordingly.
This editor is a mono window application, so when you click on Create a new library or Open a library tools, the current furniture list is discarded (after a warning if you didn't save it).

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Emmanuel:

Having this Furniture Library Editor (FLE) I can imagine that some people, including myself, will want to build large furniture libraries. And, as always, introducing a new feature leads to requests for even more features:
- a Texture Library Editor, modeled in exactly the same way as the FLE;
- subcategories for FLE and TLE, so that large sets of models and/or textures are easier to manage. Example: the category Living Room can have the subcategories Tables, Chairs, Couches, Cupboards, etc.

Only had a very quick go with it so far, initial thoughts, what a great application!
Will you also be adding it to Sweet Home as a plug-in or is it staying as a standalone?

Once again thank you!

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Works nicely.
I wanted to make a desktop launcher (on my Linux system) but I couldn't get the command right so that did not work. Right now, I just have to remember where the file is and right click that and select to open with java.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
I just updated the Beta version of the Furniture Library Editor with the fix for better DAE/Collada support.
This tool will probably be released in the coming days with Sweet Home 3D 2.5.
I updated the Beta version of Sweet Home 3D 2.5 too, and now you can import again existing SH3F or SH3T files without being obliged to relaunch Sweet Home 3D.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
I updated Sweet Home 3D 2.5 to Beta 4 to avoid problems with temporary working files that were wrongly deleted (this happens rarely).
Now, these files are stored in the work directory of your personal application directory (eTeks\Sweet Home 3D\work under Windows, eTeks/Sweet Home 3D/work under Mac OS X and .eteks/sweethome3d/work under Linux).
Please can you confirm it works correctly on your system and that temporary files are deleted once you exited the program?

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Emmanuel:

Under Ubuntu, I can see a new subdirectory called "work", next to "furniture" and "plugins". Judging by their size and number, on opening SH3D, the files from the "furniture" directory are copied into it, and deleted as soon as SH3D is closed.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Hi Emmanuel,

First chance I have had to try this..

Under Windows 7 The 'work' folder is created with a subdirectory containing temp files but the contents remain once the Sweet Home beta 5 is closed, next time Sweet Home beta 5 is launched another subdirectory with temp files is created and that remains once the app is closed.

Maybe it's just a Windows 7 thing?

Will try XP under visualization when get chance.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
ok, as you might know, I'm running a new SuSE system. The library editor will no longer launch for me. This is what happens when I try to run it in the terminal:
java -jar FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.0.beta.jar
Unable to access jarfile FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.0.beta.jar

Then I tried it like this:
java FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.0.beta.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: FurnitureLibraryEditor-1/0/beta/jar

Could not find the main class: FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.0.beta.jar. Program will exit.

Edit:
I had to do this in a terminal:
cd /home/<username>/OBJs/SH3Dplugins/
then the java -jar FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.0.beta.jar command.
On the old system, I could just open the terminal and be in that directory already. I gotta get used to this.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
The problem was solved.
I don't remember now how I did it, but I associated the .jar file with the java -jar command (I think it was: right click, "open with" and I filled out the form) and now the file works with a desktop icon.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
This is really awesome. I generally prefer to have my furniture categorized by type (table, chair, etc.) rather than by room. I've been going through and making new categories and editing furniture.

My problem is that I have several items of furniture in my Sweet Home 3d list that I don't know how to edit. I believe that these stragglers are the original furniture items that came with the program (not imported). Are they in an sh3f file? Where can I find them? (I have Mac OS X.)

Thanks,

Jaime

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
I should deliver the default catalog as a SH3F file too. smile

At the moment, you can quite easily get rid of the default furniture catalog of Sweet Home 3D, by following these steps:
- Ensure you installed Sweet Home 3D from its installer (not with Java Web Start).
- Remove the file named Furniture.jar from Sweet Home 3D installed files. Under Windows and Linux, this file can be found in the lib subdirectory of Sweet Home 3D installation directory ; under Mac OS X, choose first Show Package Contents item in the contextual menu of Sweet Home 3D application icon, and go to the subfolders Contents > Resources > Java to remove Furniture.jar.
- Relaunch Sweet Home 3D, all default furniture will be gone.

Reusing the furniture contained in the Furniture.jar file is less easy ; here are the big steps:
- rename Furniture.jar as DefaultFurniture.zip,
- in Furniture.zip rename the entry com/eteks/sweethome3d/io/DefaultFurnitureCatalog.properties as PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties (in root directory),
- rename DefaultFurniture.zip as DefaultFurniture.sh3f, and use this file as any SH3F file.

If you can't achieve it, you'll have to wait the release of a SH3F file containing default furniture (this may happen in the coming weeks).

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Ok, I got this far: under Mac OS X, choose first Show Package Contents item in the contextual menu of Sweet Home 3D application icon, and go to the subfolders Contents > Resources > Java. I see Furniture.jar, but I can't make any changes to it or even delete it. It tells me "'Java' cannot be modified."

I made a copy of the Furniture.jar file onto my desktop to try to make the sh3f file. (don't even know whether it could work this way) I tried to follow the steps and I tried to tweak a couple, but when I opened the end-result sh3 file in the Furniture Library program there is no furniture.

Of course, I don't *really* know what I'm doing. Other people may be able to get it to work. I've had my Mac for a few years now, but I am still learning its intricacies. Plus, I'm not a programmer, so I'm really not much help. sad

I do have one concern about this default furniture catalog thing. I've used several pieces of its furniture in my home model. Would they just disappear? It wouldn't be the end of the world or anything, I'm just wondering if I will need to re-measure my real furniture. confused

Posted by JaimeLF at Nov 29, 2010, 10:09:37 PM
Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Any idea as to why my Mac won't allow me to remove Furniture.jar?

Also, has there been (or will there be) a release of an SH3F file containing default furniture?

Probably, because the program is still running or Sweet Home 3D.app folder is protected. There can't be other reasons.

Hans, I think that by "default" JaimeLF means the furniture that is available in Sweet Home 3D default catalog, not the additional known SH3F files.
JaimeLF, I can write an Ant script that would build a SH3F file for the default furniture. Why do you need it?

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Oh! I've now deleted the Furniture.jar file (I had to remove the app from the dmg).

I tried to 'reuse' the Furniture.jar file as outlined in Puybaret's 8/14/10 post. I still can't get that to work right. When I open my resulting file with FurnitureLibraryEditor, it's empty. confused

Anyway, I just wanted to be able to change the categories and properties of the default furniture (like I can with the imported furniture).

Thanks,
Jaime

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
I have a question about the editor:

The library editor has a checkbox for the doors & windows, will it have one for stairs too, now that you've so nicely made it possible for the stairs to punch a hole in the floor of the room? Or is that not needed?

Posted by Puybaret at Dec 21, 2011, 2:11:57 PM
Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
There is a check box for staircases in Furniture Library Editor 1.6 released yesterday.
For the most audacious users, there's even an accompanying text field to enter the cut out shape of the staircase using the SVG path syntax.



This shape should be closed and fit in a square spreading from (0, 0) to (1, 1) which will be scaled afterwards to the real size of the staircase. The default value:
M0,0 v1 h1 v-1 z
matches a square of that size, and will compute a hole in upper levels matching the staircase width and depth.
But you can enter a much more complicated shape like the pie matching the spiral staircase available in the default catalog:
M0,0.35 h0.47 l0.375,-0.35 l0.088,0.118 A0.5,0.5 0 1,1 0,0.35 z

In case you enter a wrong shape, it will appear in red in the text field (but don't worry it won't make crash Sweet Home 3D if you don't fix it).

Good luck! smile

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
I think I just found a bug and filed a bug report.

Basically, what I've found (in 1.6) is that "Modify furniture" is not coming up, either when I double click on the piece of furniture, or when I right click on it and select "Modify furniture" from the menu that comes up with that.

I wonder what happened :(

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Sorry, it was mnemonic managements that I didn't check (I could catch this error under Mac OS X because it's the OS I daily use and it doesn't support mnemonics).
I just released again a modified version of the Furniture Library Editor with the same version 1.6.
Hope nobody will mind. smile

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Hi Puybaret,Hans and others

I'm new to Sweet Home 3D and realy like it, but for the moment, I’m not getting very far!

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of Sweet Home 3D (Version 3.7 Java Web Start). I have the latest Java version installed (1.7.0_09). And it works OK.

I downloaded FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar and when I double-click on it My Nokia Suite opens!

So I next tried to open the file with the same java file that Sweet Home 3D uses (javaws.exe) but I get a window “Application Error. Unable to launch the application” with two buttons [OK] & [Details]
When I click on “details”:
Under “launch file” it says “PK”.
Under “Exception”, it says:

also tried to open it with javaw.exe – nothing happens!
Also tried to open it with javacpl.exe – and I get the Java Control Panel opening!
Also tried to open it with java.exe – and I get what looks like a DOS window open for about half a second, then nothing.
Also tried to open it with jabswitch.exe – and nothing happens!
There are other “exe” files in the same folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin) but none of them have the “java” logo.

I then tried, on the “run” command (Win 7Pro 64 bit): java -jar FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar and got the DOS window open for about half a second, then nothing.

I have read each entry on each of the three pages in the forum, but can’t see any other suggestions referring to my problem.

Does anybody have any ideas?
Best regards,
DamCar

Don't use javaws.exe.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Thanks for the reply, Puybaret.

Got it - but not the first time! I thought it might help others if I explain what I had to do…

So as you suggested, I pasted in the run command “java -jar D:\Downloads\architecture_sweet home\FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar” (without the “” and got what looked like a DOS window for about half a second, then nothing.

I tried launching SH3D and then running the command prompt again. Still no better.

I then copied the file FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar onto the C drive and ran the command “java -jar C:\FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar” and it worked!

So either the file needs to be on the same drive as java **OR** my path was too long for the thing to work.
Thanks again for your help.
Best regards
DamCar.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
As requested by okh, here's a beta of the next version 1.12 of the Furniture Library Editor with a quick description of the updates/bug fixes it brings:
- Added the Merge tool to merge the current library with an other one
- Fixed a bug that always changed the category of an edited set of furniture belonging to different categories
- Fixed a bug that didn't updated furniture sort and selection when localized data was changed
- Added the ability to reset the value of optional fields for items edited individually
- Added the Keywords/Tags column available to add some searchable words
- Limited decimal count to 5 in saved numbers (count of decimals for 1/16' = 0.15875 cm)
- Didn't reset staircase cut out shape to its default value when multiple models with a different shape are modified.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Thanks - and congratulations. Downloaded and peeked at, will have a closer look later.

In addition to the bugfixes, I am especially pleased about the Keywords/Tags!

In fact, the more properties are available, the better. Even if it is true that it probably would be confusing for many. Maybe a compromise could be a function that simply opened PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties in the default editor? That way accessing remaining properties would be much quicker for those so inclined.

You really have been busy - know it is appreciated.

ok

Meaning that changing to SVG window paths at the same time will delete the others?

Thanks. Looks good. Much easier than opening .properties file.

ok

PS I guess users who edit SVG cutouts, may also want to change other doorOrWindow properties (and lightsource), so I don't think you should be too afraid of including the more advanced properties too (especially ID which is a pain to add manually), just put them far down in the window saying "optional/advanced".

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Thanks for your tests smile

Of course not, it means that if you select two or more items in the furniture list and try to modify them, then the Customized cut out shape fields for doors and windows won't appear in the modification dialog box.

I don't think you should be too afraid of including the more advanced properties too (especially ID which is a pain to add manually), just put them far down in the window saying "optional/advanced".
I didn't include these properties in the Furniture Library Editor because I fear they would be complicated to understand and handle, but because it would take some time to program a modification dialog box able to display and manage these properties in the Editor. But if you and others are interested, that should appear one day...
At the opposite, if you need to edit IDs, I can easily deliver to you a special version of the program that will let you edit that information (it's just an hidden information).

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
The fields for SVG cutout shapes are very small. 20 characters is not very much for the customised cutouts... :-)

No problems with the Beta so far (except the lightsource properties vanished once, but have not been able to recreate so I probably entered a wrong comma or something in the .properties file).

ok

PS: If you have link to the 'special version with ID' it would be great.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
You can type more than 20 characters even if the text field shows only 20 characters, but I'll try to change the layout of the dialog to show a larger text field in a coming version.

If you have link to the 'special version with ID' it would be great.
I sent you a link to that special version. I'll try to add a preference in a future version to change the list of editable columns.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Thank you, downloaded, much appreciated and enjoyed. Of course, I know I can type more than 20 characters, but my head is spinning (in elliptical arcs, they can be a pain). And seeing the entire path would make it (slightly) easier. But as I doubt adding SVG paths will be a common user pastime, I don't really think it needs to be on your priority list. Will look at more SVG this evening. Thanks for all your prompt responses to silly questions. (And thanks to hansmex for his input. Noted, will do. And .odt is just fine, not need to use .doc/docx ...:-) - will test .odt support for SVG illustrations ...)

ok

PS noticed a very slight Arc offset when specifying SVG (but I suspect the inaccuracy may stem from the .obj file, will check) - if it remains a problem, I will report it.

Never mind. False alarm. Not the .obj file, it was a 1 in the rotation parameter (instead of large-arc-flag) that caused the confusion. Stupid, and I wasted 1/2 looking in the wrong place... :-(

Actually, SH3d deals beautifully with every SVG path I've been able to think of.

ok - overjoyed with the SVG path function in FurnitureLibraryEditor.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Sorry from my incorrect English.

I am French and my job is 3D Computer graphic designer.
I work under SketchUp and I wish to share collections of kitchen furniture IKEA on 3D Sweet home.

With Library Editor 1.14, I have 3 problems

1) The import of one 3D models with a compound name of more than 2 figures is always reappointed: example: " BA 115 " will be called to " BA 11 "

How to avoid this error ?

2) The recording of libraries in the format "sh3f" is sometimes impossible.
Is it of for an excess large number of models in the library ?
If yes how many models are authorized at the most?

3) When I import a file "sh3f" create with library Editor on 3D Sweet man, the file is imported with the "Unknown" name.

How to attribute a name to the library for example " KITCHEN IKEA "?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

I'm not sure you use this tool correctly...
First be sure to install a .sh3f file in Sweet Home 3D with Furniture > Import furniture library menu item.
In the Furniture Library Editor, if the default names of the 3D models you imported don't match what you expect, simply rename them by double clicking on the line of the 3D model you want to change.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
You miss few steps. The name of file is not the same with name of category. In same file you could have more category.
After you load the furniture in furniture library editor, select all and then click on modify selected furniture (the 8 icon from left); in the new window edit the category name. You must see it in the category column (the 4 col.). Now you can save Your library under whatever name you want. When you import it in sh3d will see the category name not the name of the file.

Hello,

I made a bad manipulation and I do not know how to cancel ?

If this function does not exist, it is important to add it ;-)

Small notices:

To add a column of information with the "PRICE" of the imported 3D objects, would revolutionize the use of 3D Sweet home.

By exploiting the file CSV, it would be possible to make the evaluation of the prices at the same moment as the plans of our house.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
I would agree that more of the properties could be made available to the user (tntdavid: look at the DefaultFurnitureCatalog.PropertyKey) price being one (+ creator and more).

However, in your case, there is a possibility to communicate with the user of an imported library using the property information:
information#1=<font color="RED"><a href="http://www.composant-dynamique.com" >Kitchen model EURO 56</a></font>
This provides extra information in the Furniture Catalogue view and - as the example shows - even lets you link to where you can find the item.

Maybe I am missing something, but I have not found a way of making these properties visible in the Home Furniture List. And that I think could be very useful. Especially as this list is so easy to copy and paste into a spreadsheet, it would be very easy to calculate total cost of all items.

As for the Furniture Library Editor, I don't think there is an Undo feature on the drawing board (see this post). I admit this has caused me some heartache too, but if you always work on copies and backup for every change, it is something I can live without. But - repeating myself - I would like as many properties as possible available when using the Editor. Simply because the detour of unzipping/opening the PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties and then reloading the catalogue, is distracting the process of creating objects.

Now, all these issues are, I believe in the wish-list / feature requests, and I feel a bit guilty for discussing them again. After all, whenever eTeks releases new versions, one can tell that careful consideration has gone into the priorities.

But yes, these features would be very welcome also for me. And the good news is, that SH3D is clearly designed for such future capabilities.

ok

Posted by TNTDAVID at Sep 12, 2014, 12:45:19 PM
Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
The priority absolute for me is to make visible the price of the 3D objects.

I must be missing something, because I am not sure I see the problem with lots of fields as long as the default furniture list does not reveal more than Name_Width_Depth_Height_Visible. What I think would be nice, though, is for the information# field to be carried over into the furniture list. That way I could look at the items from the plan - that is, with the hyperlink - without having to look up the original catalogue entry. ok

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
The information property is stored in .sh3d files from version 4.2, but wasn't viewed in the furniture list until Sweet Home 3D 4.5 that now displays a clickable icon at the right of the name column for the pieces which have such information available.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Thank you! Clever solution with the non-changeable, linkable reference. This is bound to be a great improvement for interior designers and anyone who wants to provide model libraries for SH3D. Design a room, provide the file and link each item. Also, it will let a creator maintain some control over models in terms of copyright etc. Very good.

Basic HTML seems to work beautifully (font colours, links). However, I suspect one should keep it simple. For instance, by using HTML entities (basic character set): € did not work, but &euro; does. Which means you get a link to your model (and could even quote the price in the link).

Tried this entry which showed up beautifully in catalogue and furniture list:

information#5=<font color="GREEN"><a href="https://www.google.no/search?q=washing+machine" >Washer Dryer, &euro; 1000</a></font>

Even if this does not answer to a wish for having price as an optional Furniture column (so you can put it in a spreadsheet and get totals), but that is a different question. And this is, methinks, more important.

ok

PS - I still have the SF Bugs 499 problem that my editor seems to corrupt the item I work on in PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties, so the item does not import correctly to SH3D. However, if I open same file with Furniture Library Editor and save, the file appears fixed. I have not figured out what this might be, but Furniture Library Editor appears to have a greater tolerance of sh3f files than SH3D - go figure.

Posted by okh at Oct 23, 2014, 5:28:11 PM
Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
For the record - by "..this is more important..." - I mean that the new display of information is more important than price (or other optional columns). So all cred for an elegant solution implemented. Really a nice improvement. Very happy. ok

If the .sh3f files you created are not visible in Windows explorer, how could you choose them in Sweet Home 3D to import them?
You probably saved them in a folder that is not the one you expected.
If you want, you can also send me a .sh3f file to test it on my side, but as you can't find them, it's going to be difficult for you to attach one of them to an email!

- a possibility to choose which columns to show
- make it remember the last path used or a possibility to add a standard folder
-some kind of search for duplicates (posted that in the request area for the program itself already)

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
LunaC, don't use preferences settings to give the translation of the 3D models you added to your library. The language setting in preferences is used just to change the language used in the user interface of the Editor, nothing else.
You should rather choose the language in the dropped down list shown in the tool bar of the icon. This list provides all kind of languages, possibly with their variant in some countries. When you select a language different from the Default language, the Editor prepares an additional properties file in the sh3f file for that language, suffixed by language + country codes (for example, PluginFurnitureCatalog_en_GB.properties for English UK variant, or PluginFurnitureCatalog_de.properties for default German). Then, all the modifications you make on the name, category, keywords and information of the edited models will be considered to be in the selected language (and stored in that suffixed file). If you want to edit the models in the default language again, just select Default language. See the simple example attached to this post.
You can prepare how many translations and variants as you want for your library. For example, Sweet Home 3D models libraries are proposed in 21 languages, with country variants for Chinese and Portuguese languages. When a library is translated in a certain language, it appears in bold in the language dropped down list.

Note that if you want to force a country in Sweet Home 3D that is not yours, you can use the Java -Duser.country option followed by 2 capital letters ISO 3166 country code. For Australia, it will be:
-Duser.country=AU


About your feature requests, note that you can find more easily a model in the current version by sorting the library by name, category... when you click on its column header.
If the icon got bigger when you enlarge its column, the row should grow accordingly, a reason why I don't think I'll program this feature. Nevertheless, keep in mind that a tool tip displays the icon of a model at a bigger size when you place the mouse on its icon.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Thank you for explaining this all to me.
Id love to use the Java-Duser but how do I do that? I don't have a program to work with java. As far as I could see from the iso codes there's none for just general english but GB would be ok for me too. Could you maybe send me that file that I need or explain/point me to a source that shows how to do this?

Thanks for your Box.sh3f but it still doesn't solve the problem I have. When I open it in Furniture Library Editor the dropdown has set "default language" when I edit the file now e.g. adding keywords and then safe it and reopen it again those keywords are visible under "default language" but not under "english (uk)" or in case of my other files under "english" without country specification.
So whenever I want to edit a file in Furniture Library Editor I have to remember to set the drop down to the language I want. If I forget it I sometimes add keywords for hours and then see I can do it all over again because it saved it to whatever it thinks is the default language.
My computer is set to german but I use the program in english (I use many programs in english because tutorials are often only written in that language).

If I would have a -Duser.country=GB would it tell the Furniture Library Editor that this is my default language and I could work with it without always having to choose from the dropdown first?

"C:\Program files\SweetHome3D\jre8\bin\javaw.exe" -jar path\to\FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.19.jar

Just be sure to check the path of javaw.exe and FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.19.jar. The easiest way would be to drag and drop these files from the Windows explorer window to the cmd window.

Never said thanks for this. ID field is greatly appreciated. So thanks.

But also - a special thanks for the SVG input field. It is ever so nice to have the SVG path light up in red to tell you about typos. Actually, I would really have wished for that in my normal editor. Not that I ever make typos, of course ... smile

PS It really would be nice if the FurnitureLibraryEditor (also with the extra fields for doors/windows/light-sources) at some point were included as an Advanced Model Option in SH3D itself. It would save some model-making time and would increase the power of SH3D enormously. But I also understand your hesitation when it comes to the interface. And I guess I am repeating myself...

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
From version 1.12, you can merge a library with another one with the 3rd button in the toolbar of the editor.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
I should deliver the default catalog as a SH3F file too. smile

At the moment, you can quite easily get rid of the default furniture catalog of Sweet Home 3D, by following these steps:
- Ensure you installed Sweet Home 3D from its installer (not with Java Web Start).
- Remove the file named Furniture.jar from Sweet Home 3D installed files. Under Windows and Linux, this file can be found in the lib subdirectory of Sweet Home 3D installation directory



I'm running xubuntu 16.04, with Java 8. I can't get the downloaded file to run by double clicking or with the command line, so I installed it through the software manager, and it's running great. However, I have searched everywhere and can't find the Furniture.jre file to delete.

(I can find it easily in the downloaded files - but not in the version that installs and runs.)

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Hi,

To the post about crashing, from XroM ... I had the exact same problem. As Puybaret mentioned, I also suspected that it was the same graphics issue as launching the SH3D, which is solved using the 2nd script (which pulls different Java graphic libraries, I think).

So, I created a similar script for the furniture editor. Sorry if this was obvious (I'm newbie biggrin). Copy this script in the application directory where the other 2 SweetHome3D scripts are. And copy the FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.20.jar in the lib directory (of the same application directory).
#!/bin/sh
# Retrieve Sweet Home 3D directory
PROGRAM=`readlink "$0"`
if [ "$PROGRAM" = "" ];then PROGRAM=$0
fi PROGRAM_DIR=`dirname "$PROGRAM"`

# Run Sweet Home 3D exec
exec "$PROGRAM_DIR"/jre8/bin/java -Xmx1024m -classpath "$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.20.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/Furniture.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/Textures.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/Help.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/iText-2.1.7.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/freehep-vectorgraphics-svg-2.1.1b.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/sunflow-0.07.3i.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/jmf.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/batik-svgpathparser-1.7.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/j3dcore.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/j3dutils.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/vecmath.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/jre8/lib/javaws.jar -Djava.library.path="$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib com.eteks.furniturelibraryeditor.FurnitureLibraryEditor -open "$1"

Now it doesn't crash. Things seem to work fine except that I get an error:
com.eteks.sweethome3d.model.RecorderException: Invalid furniture library file

It does create the sh3f file in /tmp (I am in Linux) but get the error... If I ignore and keep going everything seems fine but not sure I'll see other errors down the road. I just started using it...

Regardless, thanks a lot for SH3D and the furniture editor. Should invite you one day to the place I am remodeling with it biggrin

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
help. I have downloaded the furniture library editor and the software simply doesn't run. i tried opening it with JAVA. there is a very quick blink on the screen but then nothing. i have windows 7 installed. please help.
I have tried all methods listed here:
The easiest way to launch it is to double-click on the file. If this method fails, choose open or launch with Java in its contextual menu, or open a Terminal window and run the command:

java -jar FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.0.beta.jar

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Hello, i have used version 1.20 of the library a bit on a Mac Osx system (Sierra) with both java 1.6 and 1.8 installed (1.8 as default) and i continue to see in console issue of null pointer exception when clicking. I can use the library for a single operation (add a new 3d model, or rename, or delete). At each operation I have to save, close, reopen and go on, which is very tedious... is there a fix or there will be a fix for this? Do you need further logs/info?

Posted by Puybaret at Sep 8, 2017, 2:10:06 PM
Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Please post the stack trace that appears in the console, that could be useful.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Hello,
this is what happens with 1.21 when:
Open the editor, import a 3ds model I already use in my house (and in another library), double click on it in the list of items.

From what i can see, is a problem of the table render, shame on you old swing! laughing

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
I couldn't reproduce this issue on my side, but maybe I didn't test correctly your "import a 3ds model I already use in my house (and in another library)" suggestion. There should be no difference in how the Furniture Library Editor manages completely unknown 3DS models or the ones you used once in a Sweet Home 3D project. What detail could I have missed?

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Hi, I think I did not explain correctly what the issue is!
The error is not related to what model I use (it was just a specification).
This is an issue with Java, AWT/SWING and OSX Sierra.
The problem is completely UI related, clicks do not work correctly, events duplicated.... I did the same the other day on a Windows 7 machine and it works perfectly.
Currently I'm running java build 1.8.0_91-b14 on OSX 10.12.6
I tryed to force running with the legacy java 1.6 but it did not change anything.
I'm quite sure it is something related to OSX, but can't understand what...

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
My attempt was made under macOS 10.12.6 with Java 8u144. Maybe it could worth that you try with a more recent Java version?

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Hi, even with 8u144 it gives the issue when double clicking on an imported forniture. Imported 2 forniture and double clicked on one of the two.... Gives the issue.

Is the jar code opensource? Maybe I can try to compile and debug when I have a couple of hours!

I cant get my new created library to save. I just get an error saying "cant save SH3F file" I have tried changing the name and still wont save.

I also cant open any of the libraries that came with the software. Sweet Home 3D.

I really enjoy this software and I have had it for a Long time, never had the library editor until recently.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
I should mention these items I want to add or create a library are items I have downloaded from 3D warehouse sketchup site for designing my office items, would that effect this?
And, sorry, I have a couple different folders with my 3D items. One is from years ago that I just kept adding to and now I have added the new version of SH3D, which I see there are new libraries in my C:programs\Sweet Home 3D.
I only have the new version installed

Any of this have a reason to do with this?

Hi,
I'm new here so excuse me if this is an old problem, I did search but found no answer -:(
is there a fix for high res screens for the furniture library editor my eye sight is not what it used to be and I need the big fonts.
thanks and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask

Posted by Puybaret at Oct 24, 2017, 3:11:44 PM
Re: Furniture Library Editor released
You could try to use the same properties as the ones proposed for Sweet Home 3D.
To run a Jar executable with these properties, you don't need a .ini file but rather directly cite these properties after java :

java -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.resolutionScale=2 -Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel -Dswing.plaf.metal.controlFont=Dialog-11 -Dswing.plaf.metal.userFont=SansSerif-11 -Dswing.plaf.metal.systemFont=SansSerif-11 -jar path/to/FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.21.jar

The problem with this solution is that the resolution scale won't influence the height of rows in the table of the editor, so text in the table might be cut for a high value.

As Java 9 is supposed to have fixed problems with HiDPI screens, it might be interesting to give it a try too. If it works correctly, then no need of any option, just double click on FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.21.jar file.

I recently installed SW3D for the first time and created a model of our house. Love it! Thank you VERY much!

Running SW3D 5.6, JRE 1.9, Windows 8.1

Now I'm importing SH3F files from various sources, like furniture stores that provide models. After downloading hundreds of these files I found I was unable to use the default Import feature to import more than one file. So I ZIPped the files, and while the UI refreshes and says new objects were were imported, that's never the case.

So I found the FLE here, downloaded v1.21, and while it does accept multiple files, it doesn't import the data to SW3D with the same detail as just opening a .SH3F file.

So as a user I'd like to know if I'm missing anything, and how I can import hundreds of files (with FLE?) without doing it one at a time.

As a developer, I'm happy to do some diagnostics and even (with very limited time) get into code to try to help with this.

For an example of files that import differently, see the M2Italia furniture site.

Thanks!!

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
To import many 3D model files at once in the Furniture Library Editor, just select multiple files and drag and drop them on the main window of the editor.
If you want to create one SH3F file from other SH3F files you should use the Merge button. Unfortunately the file dialog won't allow you to import more than a SH3F file at a time in that case, but this could be a nice improvement...

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Cleaning up libraries and shrinking models with an aim to have one compact library for all the models I know to be small and work.

Among those models are windows with several elements, such as a middle bar, that can be set to invisible. But for that I basically wish for two different sets of doorOrWindowSash....# properties for that one window. Or in other cases, I might want two different planIcons for one model (I prefer using semi transparent icons for staircases, awnings and ceiling lamps).

I was wondering how best to do this:

Is it possible/advisable to have several entries in PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties referencing one single model?

ok

Point was, I seem to remember that is how it is done with the light sources, but have a feeling it might not work as well with a mixed library with many models. ok

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
If you want to change the visible parts of a given model, you should use different MTL files changing the transparency factor in d lines (d 0 being fully transparent and d 1 fully opaque). As the MTL file used by an OBJ file must be cited in its mtllib line, you won't have any other choice that creating different OBJ files.
But it's not a problem to have different pieces citing the same value in their model...# property and a different value in their planIcon...# or doorOrWindowSash....# properties. There was a bug in the Furniture Library Editor some time ago about this but it was fixed in version 1.20.

By the way, here's a version 1.22 of the editor with IDs if needed. I promise the choice of the columns editable in the editor will end up in preferences one day [edit: removed link, IDs can now be displayed with an option in preferences]

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Thanks for the reply.

Good, then my memory did not fail me completely.
..change the visible parts of a given model, you should use different MTL
Maybe I do not understand, or we are talking about different things. The d setting in .mtl, it will not help me get what I want. For instance: one model consisting of a door-frame + door, with different named colours in .obj/.mtl. I import one instance of the model and use throughout the home. Where I want the door left 'open', I change that door colour (but not frame) to invisible in the colour dialogue in SH3D. That way the frames remain and I can open and close doors by toggling the colour=invisible.

I will try a couple of options and see what works best. Thanks.

ok

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
@okh I've use this feature and I've create some furniture for this.
You can try this door
https://sourceforge.net/p/sweethome3d/d-models/444/#10c5
Maybe someone could introduce this to make some animations when visit a home. When camera is near door the door start opening. Could be made it in AOI this kind of animation.
Off course only for those interested in this kind of virtual reality. I'm not!

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Thanks for the file, Dorin. It is the same principle I use. Exploiting the set-to-invisible in the colour dialogue to hide/display construction elements e.g. for quick visualisation for a planning application: changing 30 plain windows to windows with glazing-bars. Quick to see just by hiding the glazing bar.

Using one model in different contexts can be handy, but sometimes I ponder whether it could make sense to make two catalogue entries for the same model; equip the model with different properties - for instance:

One set of properties:
name#1=Door glass 3p
....
model#1=/Door glass 3p/Door-glass-3p.obj
...

Then below, a seceond set of properties for the same model:
name#2=Door glass XXXXX2
....
model#2=/Door glass 3p/Door-glass-3p.obj
model#2=doorOrWindowSash....#.... etc
....

I have yet to decide whether this can be useful or confusing. Maybe for use with one staircase model but several entries: with different cutouts, with or without semi-transparent stair planIcon (I prefer being able to see through the stairs in the 2D plan, but not everyone would agree). ok

Posted by dorin at Feb 14, 2018, 10:21:06 AM
Re: Furniture Library Editor released
From my point of view I prefer to have more options to modify an object in contextual menu than to have 3 (or more) pretty the same furniture.
Maybe in property file to have predefined few variants and in modify furniture to chose which to display. In my case 0;45;90 degrees open.
Also for modify the cutoff in Your case.
Now is about 1000 furniture on official and at least 1000 unofficial which are used for most of us. To have 4~6000 in the library I don't think is useful.
Is only an opinion.

Or an option where it is possible to save changed/updated furniture into a furniture library.

@YGYL, I wanted to improve the handling of KMZ files, but this would have required some deeper changes in the organization of SH3F files. At the moment, if you want to keep Collada files at their original format, the DAE file should be at the root of the ZIP imported file (this is the case for 3D Warehouse models at Collada format).

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
For anyone Interested in making this work in the Portable Version:

1. Download JavaPortable8 and install it into your SH3D Portable Directory, into a new folder called "Common"Files", which will create a directory structure that looks like this: (My Program Location Directory)/SweetHome3D-6.3-portable/Common"Files/Java

2. Download JavaPortableLauncher and install it in the SH3D Portable Directory, so it looks like this: (My Program Location Directory)/SweetHome3D-6.3-portable/JavaPortableLauncher

Note: So wherever the JavaPortableLauncher is located, there needs to be a folder int eh same directory named "CommonFiles" and inside that a Folder named "Java", which was created when you installed JavaPortable8

3. Put FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.25.jar into the same Portable6.3 folder

4. Right-click FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.25.jar, select "Open With" > Always use this program to open this file type > Choose another program > Browse to the JavaPortableLauncher.exe file in the JavaPortableLauncher folder > OK

5. Right-click FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.25.jar > Send to > Desktop(create shortcut)

Drag & Drop your shortcut to Quicklaunch, or wherever you want it.

This should now enable you to launch FurnitureLibraryEditor & TexturesLibraryEditor from your Portable Install Folder, which could also be a USB Thumb Drive or something, but can also be anywhere on your Computer.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
I'm having some issues with the Furniture Library Editor (Mac OS 10.11.6 and Java 1.8). Here's what I did:

1. Launched the editor.
2. Opened the Contributions library.
3. Changed the categories of some of the models, specifying new category names.
4. Tried to save the modified library, but got an error message that the library couldn't be saved.
5. Changed the name of the file and tried to save it to my desktop instead, which worked.
6. Launched SH3D and imported the modified library. However, while all my newly created categories appeared in the list, most did not contain the models I'd specified.

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong or even if I'm doing something wrong. Perhaps someone could walk me through the steps? Or point me to some instructions or a tutorial? Thank you in advance!

Hi
Thanks for a great editor. At last i can get some order in my library :)
I have one problem though, i cant open the furniture library, i get a message about that it's not a valid SH3F file, i also get that when the file i exported (all imported objects).
I don't know if it, for some reason above my knowledge, is supposed to be like this.

If it's not, it could be my fault as i, in a dark moment, added a folder with a swedish letter ( ö ), can it be that?
Especialy that folder creates a problem as the last of the objects in that can't be moved or deleted.

Can i solve this somehow ?

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Am really enjoying using SH3D but I've been butting my head against a problem for a few hours.

I'm not getting anywhere with an L shaped SVG hole for stairs using the Furniture Library editor on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.

Even the supplied example is not working (M0,0 v0.8 h0.5 v-0.3 h0.5 v-0.5 z) from the "L shape(d staircase)" section at http://www.sweethome3d.com/SVGPathMiniManualForSweetHome3D.pdf

This is just giving the usual rectangular hole. I've followed the instructions in the PDF - is there something that is missing there or out of date?

I've also tested with L code, e.g. M0,0 L0.5,0 L0.5,0.3 L0.3,0.3 L0.3,1.0 L0,1.0 L0,0 which works just fine in an SVG file, but again, not in an SH3D file. Any ideas?

I have not yet tried what happens with the code you have shown, but from what i see here :-

M0,0 v0.8 h1 v-0.8 z (example is anti clockwise)

M0,0 Moveto co-ordinates 0,0
v0.8 Cut 0.8 vertically
h1 Cut 1 horizontally
v-0.8 Cut -0.8 vertically (- means up)
z Cut to start (closes)

for a rectangle you would need v and h + a z to close

Re: Furniture Library Editor released

That's encouraging, so I spent another hour trying everything possible to produce an L-shaped hole in the ceiling for my staircase - without success. I've tried VH encoding, L encoding, my required measurements, the example measurements and a simplified rectangular hole - all to no effect. Always, the ceiling hole is the full rectangular base dimensions. It is not possible to make it smaller. The SVG encoding seems fine. It looks like a bug at the moment. Maybe because the design file is too big? I'm at a loss to explain this lack of custom hole ability.

I'm using the latest version of SH3D, i.e. 6.5 and I've looked inside the SH3F zip file and the SVG line is preserved as expected.

Can you see if you can make an L-shaped hole in this SH3D file with this SH3F staircase?

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Few advises:
1. When you make staircase in real life watch your head!
That's why:

Look at the head of man (184.5cm tall)
Unfortunately I've see this in real life.

staircaseCutOutShape#1=
M0,0 v0.645 h0.5 v-0.382 h0.5 v-0.258 z

The second:


staircaseCutOutShape#1=
M0,0 v0.789 h0.5 v-0.532 h0.5 v-0.258 z

2.For a precise cut out you have to make some calculations

- the red lines represent cut out
- to calculate you need to divide the needed dimension to total dimension (vertically or horizontally)
For second cut out to find first v0.789 I do 300/380 and so on.

3. When use Furniture Editor and modify a furniture move the preview a little until the program take a new shoot.
In this way you avoid the dark background.

4. Here is the modified furniture

5. In future you will have to learn how to make round corners.
Good luck cool

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Really appreciate the work you've done on this and I understand about stair heights, but the file you created when imported into my version of SH3D it still does not create an L-shaped opening, just the usual rectangular opening. If the L-shaped opening works for you, then the file is fine and it must, therefore be either:
* SH3D program (v6.5 on Linux) has a bug
* I'm doing something wrong with the furniture import (I choose "Staircase")

Posted by UbuntuBirdy at Apr 23, 2021, 9:41:36 PM
Re: Furniture Library Editor released
I can confirm, that the staircase posted by dorin does not cut a L-shaped opening (SH3D 6.5 - Ubuntu 20.04).
But the L-shaped staircases from the library do exactly what they should do - a L-shaped opening.

Why?

Because this is what humans intuitively do! I want to import ONE piece of furniture, so I choosed "import furniture". This is totally logical behavior (it seems gr1nch did the same)!

But you're right, I should have known that a library can also have only one piece in it. I should have known as an experienced user that the .sh3f file should be imported via "import furniture library". But even my experience did not overdrive my intuitively behavior.

So, let's say this is not really a bug but a week point of SH3D. Or a point for the "to do list"...

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Guys, that was it! Importing the file as a Library worked. I removed all previous related articles and libraries, before I did so. Now a lovely L-shaped hole in the floor. Bit odd that I can't get rid of a strip of carpet where the stairs touch the wall (despite the lower wall being raised higher than necessary and the stairs moved as close to the wall as permitted). I'm happy with the result though and look forward to getting this into my Home Assistant (automation) set up.

Thanks all!

Hello,
I have a problem with the editor, it's like it's stuck or something whenever I change anything so if I choose a different language or try to adjust the column width the top and the toolbar will be stuck. The actual rows will change with scrolling to the new view but I can't change the top with anything, I tried resizing the window and minimizing/maximizing (that just ended me up with all being black)

This is how it looks, you can see where I haven't scrolled yet (starting at line 13)


I have win 10, 64-bit, latest java update and latest version of this 1,27 although the older versions show the same problem. It used to work fine for me about a year ago (I didn't need it again till now)

Is this a program bug or something on my end?
Also, offtopic, is there any program to edit these furniture libraries in some kind of texteditor, like html with it all being just code?

Thanks in advance!

This sounds a little like bug #684 but I don't remember someone reporting it for the Furniture Library Editor. Depending on your system, try to turn off Nahimic service or MSI afterburner / Riva Turner / Discord / NVidia Experience monitoring display software.

Hello and thanks for your help!

The main program is working fine for me (as do other programs like Blender, Sims 2 and such) it's just this one with a problem. I checked out the link to the bug and tried some things uninstalled java completely, restarted and reinstalled but that didn't change anything.
I also checked the permissions for those files and the folder everything is in and I have full access to everything (just saying since win10 loves to make problems there).
I can't find any of the things mentioned there (or by you) on my computer I checked the task processes and tried turning everything off that could be it but still no change
I have a Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 and Realtek High Definition Audio (Realtek HD Audio-Manager) and NVIDIA DDS Utilities.
I'm not sure what else to try, if it were the main programm I could use compability mode but with a java app I can't select anything like that.

I also just realized this only happens with a library being open.
-If the program is just started everything is fine.
-If I add one or more objects its' fine.
-If I save those objects into a library the problem is back. Don't even have to reopen it, just saving it as a library breaks the program. (I also tried with unchanged libraries that I downloaded like Scopia, Klicker and Archibit giving the same problem)

The link how to edit the raw text is very useful and at least a backup method if I can't get this to run again thanks for that!

No but you could generate the javadoc if needed. Just look at the javadoc target in Sweet Home 3D project to see how.

After adding the "javadoc" target in the build.xml file of the FurnitureLibraryEditor project,

By modifying the source code, I was able to add 2 new properties (LIGHT and LIGHT_SOURCES).
This adds a 'Light' column and a 'Light sources' button.
FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.28_derived.jpg

For certain color (#44371B), this one is not taken into account in the PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties file and the console returns the message
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "FF44371B"
when the library created is imported back into the editor.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Many files of Sweet Home 3D are excluded from the JAR executable file of the Furniture Library Editor, to build a JAR file as small as possible.
If you change the features of the editor, you'll have to check which files you should not exclude anymore. In your case, I guess you need the pipette cursor icons found in com/eteks/sweethome3d/swing/resources/cursors folder.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Indeed, the problem is solved by including the pipette cursor icons.


Here is the derived version that allows to create lights and modify their sources.
FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.28_derived.jar
FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.28-src_derived.zip

Note: As it is not possible to attach the files because apparently their sizes exceed the maximum allowed, I put links to SourceForge.

Would be great if the light editor would draw where the light source is in relation to the model, using the XYZ we enter. I love the fact that i can adjust the color right there!

The standard version of the FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.28 tool uses the new icons of Sweet Home 3D 6.6 .

Would be great if the light editor would draw where the light source is in relation to the model, using the XYZ we enter. I love the fact that i can adjust the color right there!
It would be interesting but this problem does not yet have a solution.

Hello! I would really like it to be possible to edit and save the price in the FurnitureLibraryEditor, so that when importing in the library, the price is linked to the model! Is there a way to do this? Our company is ready to pay for it, how much will it cost?

Posted by Puybaret at Dec 1, 2021, 10:24:56 AM
Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Hello Andrew,

You'll find a version with the additional Price / VAT / Resizable / Texturable fields in
FurnitureLibraryEditorWithPrice-1.28.jar version 2.0.

I also added Resizable and Texturable check boxes which prevents from resizing an object and changing its color / texture in Sweet Home 3D, when unchecked. If you want to preset the price of an object, I guess it's for real products which can't be resized or colored, right? I would be happy to know your actual use case.

The management of these fields was already programmed but disabled in the default version.
If you like it, I'll add a Price option in the preferences of a future version of the Furniture Library Editor to enable them and avoid keeping this special version.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Bug concerning imported object names.

When importing multiple obejcts from a series with multi-select the names are not imported as they should.
If have several objects named fence01.obj, fence02.obj, etc. When I select multiple of these they are all imported with the same name 'fence0'. Thinking removing the '0' would solve this I was disappointed that it resulted in multiple objects named 'fence'.
So I tried to import them one-by-one. This made no difference and the names are still abbreviated when imported.
Switching the preference setting for the model name also doesn't make any difference.

So I investigated further. Opening the zipped library showed that all objects did have the correct name and each had an icon named accordingly. Importing the Library in Sweethome3D also showed the correct names in the furniture list.

Conclusion: it's only the display in the Furniture Library Editor listview that shows a shortend name. I didn't test any other names but it looks like the last character is always lost.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
It’s not not a bug. The trailing digit is removed on purpose when the Editor tries to compute a more readable name of the imported model.
Maybe, it should be an option in preferences. Meanwhile add another character to your file name if you want to keep the last digit. Note also that hyphens and underscores in the model file name are replaced by spaces.
----------------------------------------
Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator

Posted by Keet at Sep 18, 2022, 5:15:13 PM
Re: Furniture Library Editor released
That explains why importing "Staircase 400 U.obj", "Staircase 400 L.obj", and "Staircase 400 Z.obj" do keep the correct name.

The hyphen has another problem: replacing with a space is not a problem in itself although I would prefer that it was retained. When investigating I also tried "fence-1.obj", "fence-2.obj", etc. but ofcourse that also resulted in multiple objects named "fence". Adding an extra character after the number would be illogical in the case of a numbered series of objects.

A preference to retain the full object (file)name would be very welcome. Some objects are in series by number and retaining the name when importing avoids the hassle to properly name them when you suddenly find yourself with multiple different objects with the same name in your list.

If you get to implementing this preference please also add a preference a different default directory for libraries. After every restart of the editor I have to click through a long path to get to my directory with furniture libraries. Starting every time in the users home directory is fine as long as no other path is set but extremely frustating if you have a different drive and directory for your libraries.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Awesome, tool.

I would be forever greatful if you would add a direct or batch import from a website like 3dwarehouse.

It would be so nice to not have to download each model, unzip it, and import it individually.

When building a custom model library you may need hundreds of models and cutting all these steps out of the process would make it so much easier.

I was thinking maybe a search box, and the results have a thumbnail with hover to expand, a short description, and a checkbox to mark items you want to import.

This would speed up library creation greatly, and I believe would be well worth the effort.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Some time ago, I asked in SketchUp forum whether there was a way to explore and download the 3D models they propose on 3D Warehouse from a program, but I never got an answer sad
Nevertheless, I tried on my side and found how to do it. But now, Trimble permits to download 3D models only by registered users, probably meaning that they want to limit this traffic.
Maybe waking up the subject I started in SketchUp to get an official answer could help to get an official answer.

Interesting feature for those who use the latest version with the added description field: You can use html tags in the description!

This allows to make a part of the description bold or cursive with the b and i tags or add a line break (br). I use it to add the library name in bold followed by a line-break if there is more description info.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Hi,

The version 2.0 of Furniture Library Editor is on its way, and I would like you to test a Beta version before releasing it.
Its preferences pane was updated to let you add your own typed properties, and set whether each property should be modifiable and displayed in the furniture list of the editor. The list of furniture properties contain also the ones known in Sweet Home 3D like light properties and door/window properties, to let you choose whether you want to modify them or not in the modification dialog box of each piece of furniture.



Modifiable properties then appear in the furniture modification dialog box to let you set their values. Some known properties like price or resizable will appear as additional fields or check boxes, and other properties will appear in the new Additional properties table:



The properties with an Image type, like icon and planIcon in the previous screenshot, will be displayed as a button in their Value column to let you choose the image file of your choice.
When the icon property is made modifiable in the preferences panel, you'll be able to choose an image with this button instead of a screenshot of the 3D preview.

The Editor will check whether values entered in the table for Sweet Home 3D known properties are valid, for example if the value of door sashes properties doorOrWindowSashXAxis, doorOrWindowSashYAxis, doorOrWindowSashWidth, doorOrWindowSashStartAngle and doorOrWindowSashEndAngle each contain 2 numbers if you want to define 2 sashes.
Finally, the value of the following properties must contains lengths expressed in the current unit that the Editor will convert in centimeter in the SH3F file:
doorOrWindowWallThickness
doorOrWindowWallDistance
doorOrWindowSashXAxis
doorOrWindowSashYAxis
doorOrWindowSashWidth
lightSourceX
lightSourceY
lightSourceZ
lightSourceDiameter
dropOnTopElevation
shelfElevations
shelfBoxes

Hope you'll like it smile

[Note: Final version of Furniture Library Editor 2.0 was released on 09/22/2023]

Great! A first test shows everything working fine.
This will make fine-tuning specific values so much easier. Little changes to sashes or a cutout shape to get them correct can now be made much easier and faster.

The link between those that are optional and those that are mandatory is coherent.
This new option can be a great help for those who are not comfortable with editing the PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties file.

As far as I'm concerned, I would like to be able to add a unmodifiable property because my lights use the description property so that they are recognized by the photo plug-in.

Starting with 7.2 you can!

It's possible to define additional furniture properties to handle customized user data associated to the objects added to your home.
As the value of additional properties set in a furniture library will be copied to a new home object when it's added to the plan from version 7.2, you may give the initial value of these properties in a SH3F file.
You can create a custom property and you can set this property to unmodifyable. The description property can return to it's original purpose. A custom property can't be defined with a UI yet but it can be set from a plug-in. Check it out. It will solve your problem in a much better way than using the description field.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Having used the Furniture Library Editor again for the first time in several years, I miss something.

It would be nice if the Modify Furniture - Materials dialogue was available in the editor. It would be much easier than use Export - Import every time you want to change a model and it would keep modified models together in a library.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Good point Hans.

I have learned to set the material properties before the last export because of this. I try to only set colors because they leave both the object and thus the library a little smaller than with textures. Only when I use a custom texture or when a specific texture is required I export with that texture so it's included with the object.

It certainly would be easier if we could set the materials in the furniture library too, it's an appropriate place to do so.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Thanks for your feedback smile

Here's today the version 2.0 Beta 6 of the Furniture Library Editor which proposes the following changes:
- User defined properties appear in Italic in the Furniture properties and Additional properties lists shown in preferences pane and furniture modification dialog box.
- If present, the trailing digit of an imported model file isn't removed anymore (the reason why I introduced this was to avoid showing these numbers when a user imports models from the free 3D models page where similar models like Office chair has the same file base name).
- I also added an option in the preference pane to use imported model file name as default furniture name, and not an interpreted more human readable one.
- The furniture name of an imported zip file containing a entry named model.dae (often found in 3D models available at Trimble 3D Warehouse) is now based on the zip file name itself, instead of the useless "model" name.
- I added support for JSON format export when the saved library name ends with ".json".
This will create the furniture library .json file, the sibling language .json files if any, and will export all the images and models referenced by the library. So, prefer to export a library in an empty folder (or one prepared for this purpose), or you may be flooded by files you may not have expected.
Once these .json files and their resources are ready, just move them on the server where you host Sweet Homed 3D JS and update the configuration parameters furnitureCatalogURLs and furnitureResourcesURLBase of the application, and you'll get your library instead of the default one.
You may cite more than a library in furnitureCatalogURLs parameter, but they'll share the same URL base, so you may have to adapt the icon#, planIcon# and model# properties found in the exported library .json file to make the URL base work.

A similar JSON export feature will be proposed in the version 2.0 of the Textures Library Editor (then update texturesCatalogURLs and texturesResourcesURLBase application parameters).

[Note: Final versions of Furniture Library Editor 2.0 and Textures Library Editor 2.0 were released on 09/22/2023]

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
And Hans, I fear that adding the ability to manage materials of imported models in the Furniture Library Editor won't be in the coming version.
It's not a feature simple to program (in particular managing the material using textures).

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Version 2.0 beta6 bug:
When I add a new object and I check the 'Door or Window' checkbox the editor stops responding to any action. No save, no modify (to uncheck), nothing. I can only click the window close button and close without saving. Clicking save when prompted just closes the dialog but doesn't save and doesn't close the application. Beta5 has the same problem.

Linux Debian, Java 1.7.0_261.

To add:
When I manually edit the properties file and set DoorOrWindow to true and set the wall thickness and wall distance these are correctly accepted. I can open the object in the editor and save. I can uncheck DoorOrWindow and save, but I can not check it again and save.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Thanks Keet, the issue you reported should be fixed in the version 2.0 Beta 7 of the Furniture Library Editor.

YGYL, the Additional properties of the Furniture Library Editor may be different and anyway this list is not shared with Sweet Home 3D.
I agree that setting the System property com.eteks.sweethome3d.additionalFurnitureProperties to list the additional properties which should appear in Sweet Home 3D isn't the easiest solution for users, but I prefer to see the needs around this feature before spending time on programming a user interface to set these properties.

Thank you for the fast fix!
It's so much easier to fine-tune the extra properties in the Furniture Editor.

About the custom additional properties: I suspect the main usage will be by plug-ins. After all, what use is a custom property if there's no code that uses it's value?

rose   Re: Furniture Library Editor released
If the user could customise the additional attributes of each object, these attributes could also be displayed and sorted. It would significantly increase the application scenarios of this software. Increase the range of users of this software.
At least I never defined Sweet Home 3D as just an interior design software. For example, some people use it to recreate the scene of a criminal police officer, some people use it to make a film sequence, some people use it to design the layout of a warehouse. That's why I pay a lot of attention to the underlying functionality. Having a database that's more granular and sortable would help a lot more people!

Posted by YGYL at Aug 23, 2023, 9:09:11 AM
Re: Furniture Library Editor released
As an example, a crime scene has 30 objects, each object has a different relationship with a different character, and different characters have different identities and different role associations.
Right now Sweet Home 3D's object list is too simple. It doesn't show the different attributes clearly. This affects the way people use it.
If the underlying data extension is strong enough, it can support plugin developers to develop more industry-specific plugins. A virtuous circle

Posted by JonnyD at Aug 23, 2023, 9:11:17 AM
Re: Furniture Library Editor released
I'd like the icons for each row to be much larger, or have a larger one pop up when hovering. It's difficult, when checking for duplicates, to see whether you are looking at the same objects without actually opening each of them.

Posted by Puybaret at Aug 23, 2023, 6:38:22 PM
Re: Furniture Library Editor released
YGYL, the additional properties are already available for anybody who is ok to set com.eteks.sweethome3d.additionalFurnitureProperties property or to program the plug-in that will prepare the list of properties. The use cases you explain are valid, but I'm not sure that this kind of users or their administrator will agree to prepare the list of properties on each computer where Sweet Home 3D is installed. An administrator will prefer to provide the right SweetHome3D.l4j.ini file or install the right plug-in, this is less error prone, isn't it?

JonnyD, lLarger icons would imply higher rows, so a less usable editor and I don't think that increasing the size of the image shown in the popup would be so helpful since the displayed image is already at its full size i.e. 128x128 pixels.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
I've tested and used the last version.
It took me a wile to understand how it work but finally I succeed.
- Now I could personalized more easy every library.
- I've already add some custom properties to a library needed by future version of Generate Roof plugin.
Suggestions (wishes):
1. When a DoorOrWindow is edited to have somewhere a png with explanation of what mean in this case:
doorOrWindowWallThickness, doorOrWindowWallDistance and so on.
It was published somewhere in the past.
2. When load a library which have already some custom property, to be automatically added in the preferences list.
This feature is not so important wile, after I added once it remain there.
3. A visual way to draw sash and cutout.
Probably a 2D editor or viewer.
Anyway it is much performant now and I could live even without may wishes.

GOOD JOB!

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Some suggestions:
1. Set Change model position on top
2. When Door or window is checked,
2.1 -in Additional properties table, to be displayed all the properties related to this:
doorOrWindowWallThickness
doorOrWindowWallDistance
doorOrWindowWallCutOutOnBothSides
doorOrWindowWidthDepthDeformable
At this moment became grayed and only if Modifiable is checked in general settings.
2.2 - on the left of table, under the Change model, to be displayed the png WITHOUT sash.
3. Add a new checkbox for Sash.
Sometime is useful for other furniture with doors to see if you could open.
3.1 When checked to add on table the specific properties:
doorOrWindowSashXAxis
doorOrWindowSashYAxis
doorOrWindowSashWidth
doorOrWindowSashStartAngle
doorOrWindowSashEndAngle
3.2 - on the left to be displayed the png WITH sash

Re: Furniture Library Editor released

YES! I would love to add sashes to the opening drawers and doors of cabinets. Drawers showing a square sash, and cabinet doors the normal sashes as regular doors and windows have.
Implementation could be problematic if you add sashes for the ball deformation (a circle?). All the sashes around a mannequin can possibly be a little too much of a good thing. But for hinges and rails it's a no-brainer.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I'd like to be able to show the properties attached to an object in a list either in the Furniture Library Editor or in Sweet Home 3D, and to be able to change the values at any time.
In Sweet Home 3D, you can create a new column of properties at any time, and you can sort the whole thing by a particular column.
This would greatly expand the use of Sweet Home 3D!

For example, if you are looking for something, you can see where it is placed with a single mouse click in the item list. Sorting the list as a whole will show you what else is on top of the 2nd shelf of the shelf.

Without this feature, there would be no way to sort or even find it quickly and easily!

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
I am trying to add/remove furniture from the library and followed the instructions in the initial post.

- moved Furniture.jar from C:\Programme\Sweet Home 3D\lib to different directory
- made some changes to the file with the editor
. opened SH3D and imported Furniture.jar.sh3d

Is it correct that no new Furniture.jar will be created in the \lib\ directory, but the imported file is saved in C:\users\xyz\Sweet Home 3D\furniture?

If so, will I need to remove that one before making further changes?

Also, there were many items missing in Furniture.jar, like outlets etc. How can I change those ones?

Great stuff, still learning...

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
opened SH3D and imported Furniture.jar.sh3d
Guess you meant "imported Furniture.jar.sh3f" or "imported Furniture.sh3f".

Is it correct that no new Furniture.jar will be created in the \lib\ directory, but the imported file is saved in C:\users\xyz\Sweet Home 3D\furniture?
Imported libraries are saved in C:\Users\xyz\AppData\Roaming\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D\ furniture

If so, will I need to remove that one before making further changes?
Not necessarily, as long as you keep the same file name, the imported library will be overwritten. No need to relaunch Sweet Home 3D too, unless you directly edit the files found in C:\Users\xyz\AppData\Roaming\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D\ furniture

Also, there were many items missing in Furniture.jar, like outlets etc. How can I change those ones?
You can merge this library with other libraries found at 3D models import page, using the button showing a + sign. You can also simply import these libraries without creating a larger library.

Re: Furniture Library Editor 2.0
This must be due to a bug in Java, but it should be fixed in the coming version of the editor.
Meanwhile you should run the editor from the command line to define the java.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort to true, with a command of the form:
java -Djava.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true -jar /path/to/FurnitureLibraryEditor-2.0.jar

Re: Furniture Library Editor 2.0
At the top of the PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties file in a .sh3f file you can add a few library properties. The ones I know of:

id=
name=
description=
version=
license=
provider=

Since you can't add a custom property that is preserved when you save the file in the library editor I wondered if there are other properties that are supported?

Second question:
How do you remove a planicon other than manually editing the properties file and removing the image from the .sh3f zip?

No it's the only supported properties for a library. Custom properties are for pieces of furniture, not the library itself.

Sorry, there's no other way for the moment. I simply didn't think about it when I programed this feature.

Every property is correctly saved except a change in the perspective of the preview icon.

I know I can set a custom icon but that seems a little overkill. In most cases a simple replace with the preview that is shown is sufficient (unless of course a custom icon is set).

Re: Furniture Library Editor 2.0
This feature is available when the icon property is not modifiable in the preferences panel. See also the post about version 2.0.

Re: Furniture Library Editor 2.0
Aha, that solves my problem. I'm glad that the option is already available. I had no idea that it depended on the modifiable setting of the icon. Seems reasonable though.
Thank you.

Furniture Library Editor Bug
Emmanuel, in another thread concerning lightsources you stated this:
You can already have more than one material listed in the lightSourceMaterialName# property. Just separe them with one or more spaces.
Unfortunately there's a bug in the Library Editor (v2.0) that prevents this from working correctly.

I add two lightsource material names: "UpLight DownLight" (without the quotes). I save and import the library but when I render a photo only the last light shows. (When I switch the order of the lights the other one is the only one that shows.)
I go back to the library and when I modify the object with two light sources I see that the Library Editor has added a comma between the two light sources. Even worse, when I save again without changing anything another comma is added after the first. With every save another comma is added.

I assume that adding the comma is not supposed to happen and that is the cause of only accepting the last light source.

ETA:
In the Home.xml file both lightsources are correctly listed:
<light id='light-15930b30-3aba-40fe-b5be-b7d20db73264' level='level-a8f78c57-ad8a-4eab-8e30-6df9906d7ae5' name='Elevator Call buttons' creator='Keet' model='218/CallButtonPanel.obj' icon='217' x='-1984.5288' y='1783.7722' width='6.0' depth='0.5' height='11.0' modelSize='4201' description='<b>(Dodecagon Glass Elevator)</b>' license='CC0 1.0 Universal' power='0.5'>
<lightSourceMaterial name='UpLight,'/>
<lightSourceMaterial name='DownLight'/>
</light>


ETA 2:
When I manually remove the comma in the library properties file both lights work. It is definitely just the Library Editor that writes a comma where it shouldn't. And keeps writing it with every save.

ETA3:
Further investigation shows that saving the library adds the comma to all objects with multiple lightsources listed. This means it's not when you save the object with multiple lightsources but when you save the library itself.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Bug
Not a bug but a nuisance:
After I open and close the preferences dialog all columns are perfectly sized to the width of the contents. It would be nice if this also happended when you open the library. Currently I abuse the open and close of the preferences dialog because that's easier than resizing each column to fit the contents but it should resize by default.

Re: Furniture Library Editor 2.2
The version 2.2 of the Furniture Library Editor containing the correction of the bug on lightSourceMaterialName# property was released yesterday.

Keet, I couldn't reproduce your issue about columns size in the editor. Maybe it's due to the Java version you use.

Re: Furniture Library Editor 2.2
Keet, I couldn't reproduce your issue about columns size in the editor. Maybe it's due to the Java version you use.
Do you mean that when you open a library in the editor all columns are resized according to their content?

I don't think it's a java version problem. I changed my start script for the editor to specifically use the same version as supplied with Sweet Home 3D. That doesn't make a difference. The trick with opening the preference dialog and closing with OK works the same, all columns perfectly resized. I'll keep using that trick.
Or did you mean the tiny column divider for resizing? That is not a java version problem, that is my old age working against me laughing

Thank you for fixing the lightSourceMaterialName bug. No more manual editing to fix it after I edited a library!

Re: Furniture Library Editor 2.2
Yesterday I changed my library editor startup script to check if the columns problem was related to the java version. I added the path to the runtime/bin directory in the Sweet Home 3D java directory to force use of the Sweeet Home 3D supplied java runtime.

Today I tried to add a model to a library with drag&drop and I got a run time error and the application quits. I removed the java path and the error is gone and everything works as it should.

I'm not sure but just setting the path might not be enough. I probably should set some environment variables for java too. It works without the path which means no problem for me but it might point to another problem. Here is the info:

This sh script works:
#!/bin/sh
exec java -jar /path/to/SH3D/tools/FurnitureLibraryEditor-2.2.jar -open "$1"

And this gives the error:
#!/bin/sh
exec /path/to/SH3D/SweetHome3D-7.3/runtime/bin/java -jar /path/to/SH3D/tools/FurnitureLibraryEditor-2.2.jar -open "$1"


To be clear, the library opens just fine. The error occurs when I drag&drop a new model in the editor window.
By-the-way, this is the same with version 2.1.

The error I get with the path to the Sweet Home 3D java version:

Re: Furniture Library Editor 2.2
I tried both
$ java --version
openjdk 11.0.24 2024-07-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.24+8-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu322.04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.24+8-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu322.04, mixed mode, sharing)
$ java -jar /path/to/SH3D/tools/FurnitureLibraryEditor-2.0.jar
and
$ /path/to/SH3D/SweetHome3D-7.5/runtime/bin/java -version
java version "1.8.0_202"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_202-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.202-b08, mixed mode)
$ /path/to/SH3D/SweetHome3D-7.5/runtime/bin/java -jar /path/to/SH3D/tools/FurnitureLibraryEditor-2.0.jar

However, the runtime error right after opening a dialog happens with both (as well as with FLE 2.1 and 2.2). My detailed error output is in ...crashing on Modify Furniture dialog. It does not seem to differ significantly between the JVMs. It resembles that of Keet above.

I am not "literate" enough (yet) to read it but willing to learn. What could be the next trials/assumptions/diagnostic steps towards stable dialogs?

Congrats! For me it doesn't.

What helped was a different graphics driver for my outdated nvidia. I changed the Linux driver from proprietary to open source nouveau this afternoon, after even SH3D itself crashed my graphics. FLE has been running since then.

Re: Furniture Library Editor 2.2
Interesting! I'm also using the 470 generation. Since my driver change to nouveau, my 2nd Monitor has been ignored, and so has the HDMI audio output. Even after I switched back to proprietary drivers - which in turn did not crash neither SH3D nor FLE anymore.

Anybody got a left-over, maybe outdated, non-nvidia PCIe graphics card for fair money? All I want is to drive one 3840×2160 and one 1920×1080 display, no gaming, even fine @ 30 Hz. PMs welcome.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Hey there,
I’m pretty new to Sweet Home 3D, I have a problem trying to start the Furniture Library Editor and I was hoping I could get some help with that here?
I’m running Windows 10 Pro, I’ve installed the Java Development Kit 23.0.1 (64 bit), but that just seems to be a collection of weblinks. I installed Java Version 8 Update 431, (Build 1.8.0_431-b10), and I’ve downloaded Furniture Library Editor 2.2, but when I double click on it, nothing happens. No menus open, nada. I’ve read this whole thread, but I’m at a bit of a loss, as I’m not a programmer and have never done anything with Java before. I need to get the furniture editor up and running as I’m working on a project with custom lights, and so I need to do some editing. I’m also totally new to 3D modelling, but I’ve been teaching myself what I can so far, and others here have been really kind and helpful in offering explanations as well. Can anyone please help me out with this?

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
Problem: warning messages from Java jdk-24

I'm a irst time (attempted) user of the library creation tool under windows 10.

I installed and configured Java jdk-24, which seems to work.

1. How can I display the current documentation for the furniture library creation tool?

2. invoking the command

+ java -jar ./FurnitureLibraryEditor-2.2.jar
opens the editor window.

However, when I tried to drag-and-drop of the directory folder containing the .obj and .mtl files into the main pane of that window, nothing happens but I get this error message in the cli (I'm using cygwin bash) command window:

WARNING: A restricted method in java.lang.System has been called
WARNING: java.lang.System::loadLibrary has been called by com.jogamp.common.jvm.JNILibLoaderBase in an unnamed module (file:/C:/User

WARNING: Use --enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED to avoid a warning for callers in this module
WARNING: Restricted methods will be blocked in a future release unless native access is enabled

Hopefully this problem can be fixed in the next release of the Furniture Library Editor. In the meantime, I'll try what java suggests.

You can't drag a folder in the Furniture Library Editor. You can select multiple OBJ files and/or ZIP files containing OBJ/MTL files and drag&drop those in the FLE window.

I use the Java runtime provided with Sweet Home 3D and that one works perfectly fine.
Correction, for the FLE is use an older runtime: 1.7.0_261.
