Praise for our favorite floor plan tool.

<t>I just wanted to show some appreciation and thanks/praise to Emmanuel for creating such a fine 3D tool. SweetHome3D is easily the most efficient 3D floor plan software ever produced. The idea of constructing a 3D floor plan model from a simplified 2D drawing format providing both a 2D SVG and ...

Re: importing 3d elements with textures

<r>This is most likely caused due to a bad path on your images. You will need to verify with a text editor. First check path of .mtl file is correct in .obj file. Then confirm that image paths are correct in .mtl file. Look for something like...

Re: Doors in plan are stretched out.

<r>So, to answer my own question for the sake of those interested. The SVG path dimensions were calculated in inches previously, which worked fine in older versions.<br/>
I multiplied all the dimensions by 2.54, and they are now working fine...

Doors in plan are stretched out.

<r>I recently upgraded from 4.2 to 6.2, and found the doors in my library that are using cut out shapes are not showing correctly in plan view. Instead of the normal white box that displays over the wall, I get a really long stretched out box that is at least 20 times the size it should be hanging ...

Re: Text name only in 2D view

Thanks for your suggestions clanmills, you gave me some good ideas. I am thinking "Display name in plan" should be enabled from the furniture library properties file. Going to see how hard that is to rework. Then I can just load a transparent png for the planIcon.

Re: Text name only in 2D view

If anyone is interested, I tried using an SVG file as the planIcon, but it does not work. I get that little red X. I guess there is no quick fix inside SH :(

Text name only in 2D view

<t>Is there a way to display the catalog name only in the plan view? I have run into a situation where the top down view is undesirable, and just the catalog name of the object is more appropriate. I thought about using a plan icon image, but this does not produce the desired vector text output I ...

Re: Import .obj file to Blender

<t>I have been looking into this as well. Ideally OBJ groups should be created by individual pieces of furniture. The OBJ writer appears to write g + objectName and then falls back to the nodeName. g being the obj files designation for group. Could it be that the nodeName being used for all ...

Re: SVG Export Setup (pixel width, height)

Dug this project up again. It looks like Sweethome is using freehep graphics library. If so, it seems like the easiest way to get my desired image would be if the freehep export dialog was displayed. Might not be so hard. Any thoughts on this?

Re: SVG Export Setup (pixel width, height)

<t>I guess what I am really looking for overall is output control by any means necessary. A png export feature for the plan view would be nice, and so would being able to set pixel dimensions on SVG output. If I have to make a couple of builds of SweetHome with the common output settings I use, that ...
