Can a 'sloping' box be made?

Post by duckjockey »

Is it possible to make a box with a sloping dimension? For example, I'd like to make a 8"X12"X120" long box to represent a beam that is at 96" elevation on one end, and 120" at the other. I'm currently using a old version of SweetHome. Perhaps the latest can do this? Thank you.

Draw a wall with the correct 8"x12"x120" dimensions in SH3D, where one end is 24" (120" - 96") further down in the 2d view than the other. Export to .obj format, and import the same file as furniture. When importing, rotate your object from horizontal to vertical with the green arrows.

Neither the old, nor any new version can do that in-program (or real-time).
However, there is a simple way to accomplish this.

Export the beam of choice, then re-import it.
In the first step of importation, you can use the arrow buttons to rotate the object along X, Y and Z axis.

Good luck.
