Importing 2d drawings.

Post by Ekiminya »

Hello All.
I am working on a large project on a very short deadline. I have the layout of the building's several floors(its a 10 floor hotel) both in pdf and .psd versions. Is there a way I can import these into Sweet Home 3d as a layout for my walls? or even import it on the worksppace then draw my structure on it?. I would like to do this because the plans are too complex to draw in the short time I have, given that all I want to show are a few equipment to be installed in the building.

Please help me out

Sweet Home 3D supports BNMP, GIF, PNG and JPEG image file formats. Convert your PDF or PSD files to these file formats (useless to keep a high resolution), and then import the image(s) as a background image to help you redraw walls upon it.
If you don't know how to convert them, you could also simply view these images and make a screen capture that you'll save.

That worked out very well. I used Adobe Photoshop to convert. Thanks
