where to place 3d models..

so that sweethome3d would pick them automatically for all users, i. e. i won't have to install it to each user's home? is there such an option? i'd like to create packages and if the program looks inside home dir only, it's impossible to do so.

thank you, joe

You can use the Export to SH3F plug-in: it allows you to export all the furniture imported in Sweet Home 3D catalog to a SH3F file. Then you can import this SH3F file in an other account with the menu item Furniture > Import furniture library....

Download this plug-in and copy it in the plug-ins folder of Sweet Home 3D, which is the subfolder .eteks/sweethome3d/plugins of your user folder (you'll have to create it if it doesn't exist).

Relaunch Sweet Home 3D, and you'll see the new menu item Export imported furniture to SH3F... in Furniture menu. At this time this will work, only if you installed Sweet Home 3D with its installers. If you installed it with Java Web Start, it may not work for security reasons and you'll have to download the installer.

hello, thank you for your post. i still fail to see an answer on where to put the data besides the user directory though. it's nice i have an option to bundle all 3 model-packs into one but then.. there is no such possibility of doing pacman -Syu sweethome3d-models and then just relaunching sweethome3d and seeing all models actually imported.
