Am definitely a fresh man using this software. Would like to work with this app in exhibitions design. Am an art curator and my tasks include layout how an exhibition should be distributed in a gallery. That means work in a given scale and being able to draw a 2D (3D would be wonderful) reproduction of the walls and insert scale reproductions of pictures in the places the're supposed to go. Has Sweet Home 3D tools to do that: scales, insert JPEGs images etc.?

Re: Installind 2D objects in walls
SH3D is made to do exactly what you are asking. You can draw a room or building to scale, then insert furniture.
To make your own paintings, proceed as follows: 1 - select your image and note the size in cm or inch. 2 - insert a box and size it so that one face is the size of your painting, the thickness should be scaled down to, say, 5 cm or 2 inches 3 - elevate the box so that it "hangs" at the correct height 4 - select the box and do a right-click, select Modify furniture - Materials - Modify 5 - a window pops up in which you can apply a texture (=image) to all six faces of your cube; select front, then click texture 6 - a window pops up in which you can select a texture; click import, choose image, click Reduce size if it's too large, then click Continue 7 - next window appears: type a name, type or select a category, set the width to what you wrote down in step 1 (height follows automatically), click Finish 8 - click OK three times and you're done.
