I can't seem to do this anymore, but I can't recall when the behavior changed. Is there any way to accomplish this or something similar in 7.1? I have several versions of a design that ...

I found a post from rcheng in 2014 on this subject and Hans Dirkse gave the solution by means of a link. But the link is broken. I tried to reply on the original post, but it does'nt work either. Who can help?

I'm looking for 2 things, and have trouble finding them: 1. a simple glass panel which allows me the flexibility to resize in anyway I want. 2. a sliding door that is simply glass with no door frame.

I've been using SweetHome3D for well over a year on Arch Linux. Recently, I started up the application and all the panels on the UI were swapped: The furniture selector and furniture list are now on the right, with the furniture list on top and furniture selector on bottom.

In the 3D window in aerial view, with right mouse down move the mouse up until you are straight on top of the center point. 2. In the design window, put any furniture as "Center point control object". Now move that furniture around the other objects and you see the center point moving in ...

I started adding a few simple geometric rugs into my floor plans just to see how they looked, and it actually helped define spaces way better than I thought. In open layouts, a modern rug almost acts like a visual boundary between areas ...

I just bought a 3D model of a stove at CGTrader. The download section proposes .MAX, .OBJ, and an additional maps.rar file. When importing the OBJ file in Sweethome3D, the wood burning stove is all gray. There are no texture. I guess the maps.rar contains textures and details ? How can I have the full object imported in Sweethome3D ?

My quick checklist: 1) Open the 3MF and verify units (mm vs inch) 2) Export to STL 3) Re-import STL and check orientation + wall thickness 4) Slice a tiny test section before full print I made a small free ...
