How to join two furniture libraries?
Hello,

For some time I have been enjoying the Furniture Library Editor (FLE) plug-in.

There is one thing that I have been trying to do without success: joining two libraries. Whenever I have a library open and try to import another library, only the first item is imported (into the category Unknown). Is there a way to do this? Is the imported library file corrupt?

I also noticed that some models have an ID in the first column, but many don't. Is this ID necessary for importing? If so, should the ID refer to the actual filename of the model? And do I need (in my case) the prefix hans# or can it be any prefix ?

If possible, I would also like to request a new feature for the FLE: the option to include ALL models in the exported library file, so that you have just one (gigantic) library that includes all models, regardless of their origin.

Thanks for your help.

Hans

Re: How to join two furniture libraries?
Joining two furniture libraries isn't possible at this time. Please, fill a feature request as a reminder.

The ID isn't necessary, and the ID column won't probably appear by default in a future version. Only one piece of furniture with a certain ID may exist at a time in Sweet Home 3D. During program launch, if two pieces of furniture with the same ID are found only the first one will appear in furniture catalog.

You must really like the program! smile

Thank you for your great support and for helping other users in this forum.
