Import DAE plan file

A friend made me a plan in a commercial program and exported it as a DAE file (which looks to be just XML). I now want to import his plan into SweetHome3D but I don't see a way to do it. I can see the option to import furniture, but not an entire plan.

Thanks for any help you can offer to a very new user.

You can import a DAE file only as a piece of furniture. You should get a correct object, but it will one object, probably not the easiest thing to arrange furniture in it, since there won’t be any notion of walls and rooms.

is that still the case?

At least I could use it as a kind of blue print?

Don't expect it will change, because a DAE file doesn't contain any information about the purpose of a shape (wall, floor, furniture...)

If you want some kind of blue print, just make a screen shot in SketchUp or in Sweet Home 3D and use it as a background image.
