Managing home SH3F files

[rawberth]

Hello folks,

First thank you to the developer of SweetHome3D and the community.

My question is: is it safe to update the `.sh3f` in `~/.eteks/sweethome3d/furniture` (while SH3D is closed of course) or is it necessary to always do the import process from within the UI?

You can safely overwrite the .sh3f files. Importing from within Sweet Home 3D is nothing else than copying/overwriting the .sh3f file in the ~/.eteks/sweethome3d/furniture directory and reloading the furniture catalog. It's not necessary, but you you should do this with Sweet Home 3D closed. You would have to restart anyway to reload the new libraries.
