Re: Shipping container homes & solar panels
So here I am struggling with intricate sloppy roof...
However, I was able at least to draw a very comprehensive roof timber framing using sloppy wall, wood texture and the “invisible triangle� obj, for which I give a thumb up to the author
I tried working with the “sloppy ceiling & roof� tutorial provided by Hans Dirske and create obj for export, but it’s mission impossible in my case, obviously.
Anyway, here’s some picts to illustrate the issue.

Re: Shipping container homes & solar panels
Hello all,
I am also new to Sweet Home 3D but don't find it that hard. It a very straight forward software to use.
Reason for writing here is also I am designing and hopefully use my design to build my own container house. Am also trying to make it all self significant with electricity.
I just thought I should share with you here. I will try and post some images of what I have come up with.

Re: Shipping container homes & solar panels
Hello World, first post for me here...
Just jumping in, There are Insulated/Refrigerated shipping containers where the outside corrugated walls are filled in with foam and covered in plywood or metal. This is great that: 1) You have a smooth wall 2) The Wall is about 3 1/2 inches, same 'standard' wall thickness used in Sweet Home 3D.
Only problem is that it is a "Thick" Wall. But this makes it easy to use with the Sweet Home 3D program! (Note, most places I know just use a 2X4 stud and a 1/2in sheet rock/plaster board, making a thinner wall! It is very cheap construction!)
Most containers are 7ft tall, a bit confining for a guy like me who is over 6ft tall! But there are taller containers. I believe the tallest is 8'6".
I find Sweet Home 3D to be a great program, been using it for less than a year now in designing container and other types of homes for a few friends.
Keep up the great work guys! Great program! Great Homes!

Re: Shipping container homes & solar panels
HI, I downloaded a few .skp files, downloaded Sketchup and tried exporting them in both those file formats as you suggested but SH3D won't recognise them.
