furniture library

Post by abelorusov »

Hello: I imported a few furniture pieces, not a library. I modified them a little. I see these pieces in the top left box of the screen. How can I copy these pieces and give to a friend?

thanks

Alexey,

- In your design, select the model that you want to share with a friend.
- Now do CTRL-C to copy it.
- Start a new instance of SH3D
- Copy your model in this new, empty SH3D with CTRL-V
- Now, in the menu click 3D view --> Export to OBJ format
- A new window opens, where you can choose a directory, and give the model a name
- Two files are created: modelname.obj and modelname.mtl
- Give both files to your friend
- He/she can use the model after importing it with Furniture --> Import furniture

If you want, you can compress the two files into a zip-file, which also can be directly imported the same way.

Thanks, Hansmex. It is a great solution but it looks like it works only for one piece of furniture. How do I give a friend 20 new items? How can i create a furniture library?

Alexey,

- Read the plug-in manual
- Install the plug-in ExportToSH3F
- Export all imported models in one file
