Exterior 3d models and ,btw,hello

Post by edu.fx »

Hi everyone. I am Edu. I discovered Sweethome3d recently,and i really like it,so my congrats goes to the dev/s for such an good project.
However,i have a question. I'd love to see some more focus on exterior models,and i want to ask where i can find some more exterior 3d models,except for what comes already with the program,and except the models listed on the project's page ?
Things like roads,more trees,plants,grass,buildings,cars. For example if i want to build something like a city park.
I know that sweethome3d is mostly a 'indoor based' program, but it would be possible to extent it to exterior design too ?
Thanks.

Edu,

SH3D was and is developed with the intent of interior decoration as its main purpose.

If you want to use SH3D to design gardens and such, you will notice that using models of trees and shrubs will slow the program down very, very much. This is caused by the gigantic number of surfaces (read: leaves) that have to calculated for every movement or change in perspective.

With this specialized search you can try to design a garden, without the problems mentioned above.

So,as i see it,those are 2D that comes in two formats. If i understood well,collada format can be imported in SH3D. I'll try some of them. Thanks,Hansmex
