Re: How to save 3D shape into furnture library
Yeah, if I understand well.
Import (furnitures, Import) <=> export (select object and right click on bottom right frame) !

Re: How to save 3D shape into furnture library
Sorry, I don't understand your answer in relation to my question.
I can create a transparent box in my plan using the 3D Shape Generator tool.
But how can I get that object into my furniture catalogue (so I can change it into a window)? I know how to edit it once it is my furniture catalogue, but how to get it in there?

Re: How to save 3D shape into furnture library
I'm OK with your creation.
Two ways :
1. During import with 'furniture' -> 'import furniture' you can choose the catalog (and its name).
2. After creation, to modify it, double left clic on this object on the left upper frame (catalog icons) and a new box window appears...
I hope to have been clear.

Re: How to save 3D shape into furnture library
Ok, maybe I'm not explaining the problem clearly. I'll try to make the question as simple as possible.
How do I get an object from my plan into my furniture catalogue?
'furniture' -> 'import furniture' doesn't seem to do this - it won't import an object from the plan into the furniture catalogue. Try it: first select an object in a plan and then try to import it into the furniture catalogue. If you can do it, please let me know because that is what I need to do.

Re: How to save 3D shape into furnture library
You want to see an existing object in the upper and lower right frames but absent from the category (even all)... Ok you create a Shape3D object.
For this case, see my previous answer. Select it, export in OBJ and import it in good category.

Re: How to save 3D shape into furnture library
Please, let me add to the confusion and suggest couple of steps:
Create shape
Select object
Export selection as .obj (3d view - Export to OBJ format )
Import same .obj file (drag&drop)
Check "Add to catalog" in the third dialogue
Check staircase or door/window (if that applies)
That will put the object in your standard catalogue. But, when you say "my furniture catalogue" it sort of indicates you have indeed your own catalogue. Which is a good idea, however, you will also need to use the Furniture Library Editor (FLE) to create a separate catalogue (indistinguishable when using SH3D, but can be edited separately using the FLE). Then the procedure is similar, but you shall have to import the .obj file into the FLE and then import the FLE library into SH3D. Using separate libraries is a slight detour, but it also gives you more control over a separate ("my furniture catalogue") library and the models in it.

Re: How to save 3D shape into furnture library
Thank you both for your rapid and helpful replies. It was the "Export selection as .obj (3d view - Export to OBJ format )" step that I was missing, I didn't know the function existed in the 3D view.
Also, I guess I meant my standard catalogue, I didn't know how to refer to it.
Anyway, problem solved, thanks again for your help.
