Trying to install SH3F under Ubunu (Linux)

[hansmex]

Hello all

I'm trying to install the SH3F-plugin, so that I can export my libraries.

After downloading the plugin I searched for the .eteks directory. Not being able to find it, I created a directory under the "Home Folder" that I called ".eteks", then a subdirectory called "sweethome3d" then one called "plugins". I placed the "com"-folder in that last folder.

I then started up SH3D but under "Furniture" there was no "export" option. I copied the files in the "exportsh3f" directory into each directory from ".eteks" down, but still SH3D doesn't show the 'export" option.

What am I doing wrong??

To ensure you created the directory at the place, try this tip:
Import an existing SH3F file with Furniture > Import furniture library... menu item.
This will create .eteks/sweethome3d/furniture subdirectory in your home directory with the imported SH3F file in it.
Go to the .eteks/sweethome3d directory, create a subdirectory name plugins in it and copy the ExportToSH3F-1.0.sh3p file into plugins subdirectory.
Finally, relaunch Sweet Home 3D.

Emmanuel,

Once again, thank you very much for your help.

I created the directory in the right spot, but I placed the unzipped files in it. It turns out that the SH3F-file must be in that directory.

I hope to be able to post some files soon.
