Looking for construction libraries and symbols
I need more staircase configurations, and electrical symbols. Are these available from Sweet Home 3D, or is there somewhere I can download them from?

Thanks

Forgot to mention, I'm using a Mac.

Didn't you find what you're looking for among all the models and link in the 3D models import page?

No. What's really needed is a variety of simple staircase configurations, that will show detail in 2D, and hopefully work in 3D as well. A lot of the staircases available on the 3D model page, do not show any detail in 2D, they just look like rectangles boxes, plus there are not enough configurations.

Example of what I'm looking for:

I get error messages when I try to use any Google Sketchup files with Sweet Home 3D. Am I missing something here?

Re: Looking for construction libraries and symbols
Check the Google Sketchup Warehouse for all your needs...
If necessary install Sketchup to convert models from SKP to DAE format.

Thanks, I was able to figure out how to convert SKP to DAE, using Google Sketchup. Question though, I don't see much use in a whole page of electrical symbols. There's no way to separate any one symbol, for use in floor plans. I'm I missing something here?

Thanks

In Sketchup you can easily use Edit -> Group -> Explode to ungroup the symbols, then delete all but one, and export it as DAE. Then Undo the deletion and save another symbol you need.

Thanks, I was able to separate symbols, but the quality was such, that they will not work for blueprints. Not sure if there is anything that can be done about that.

Re: Looking for construction libraries and symbols
The other option is to create larger plan icons as I suggested in the other thread you opened.
