Setup a Search in the Forum

[Lumaja]

First I like this program very much but have to learn a lot.

I am new with Sweet Home 3 D and because of that I have to contact the forums or read
through, on read find difficulty keep opening pages to find a hint.
I suggest to setup a search to make it easier and not have to repeat the same threads, like
a lot of other forums.
The other is, my OS is Ubuntu and have extreme difficulty to import 3D warehouse, I have
to download Sketchup and Wine (Not on my likes) just to get one or two models, what I though as a suggestion to make “library” or some think like to covert the model.

In case you haven't noticed there's a search box in the top right corner on the website.

You can use KMZ files from 3D warehouse directly in SH3D. No need to install Sketchup.

Regarding import of SKP files in SH3D please read this.

Best, slimpy

Not a bad idea to list key threads that explain stuff, but there is always the FAQ and the user manual that covers a lot. And compiling the list involves quite some work. and, as slimpy says, there is a search available in the top right corner on the webpage - even if it is, well, hmm, maybe not always perfect. But then you can always use alternative search engines to do a site search / advanced search, e.g. Google site search to play with search parameters on the SH3D site:

https://www.google.no/search?num=50&q=w ... home3d.com

For imports from the 3D warehouse, if .kmz is not available, there is often also the unzipped .dae (Collada) format that also can be imported directly. I fear auto-converting or copying converted files would not only be a never-ending task, but more important, it is probably not possible because of the copyright implications.
