At this time, its main new feature is the support for DAE/Collada file format: this means you have now access to Google 3D Warehouse and its huge library of 3D models!
For example, the following image contains only furniture and characters imported from Google 3D Warehouse:
This Beta version fixes also a few other things, among which:
- objets exported at OBJ format then reimported in Sweet Home 3D have now the same look (see this thread),
- the support for transparent textures was added,
- the bug that prevented overlapping floors to be correctly displayed is fixed.
Expect more features in the next Beta updates. [:D]
