[maxrubin1]

@CzarChoiThe2nd HOW

[lom1234iu0]

How do you create normal surfaces that would go against the wall or in the middle of the room?

[SweetHome3D]

Add thin boxes and/or cylinders from Miscellaneous category.

awsome,totaly subscribing

[1WisdomNPower]

I absolutely LOVE Sweet Home 3D!

How many different software programs are needed to apply textures to imported models from Art of Illusion?

What do I need to be able to open and work with the .mtl files that came zipped along with the uploaded models from the SH3D website?

[charlesc007]

how do you colour the walls

[SweetHome3D]

double-click on a wall to edit its attributes

[gloryfighter1000]

whats better sketch up or this

[AngelDreamKing]

This cause You cant edit inside buildings on SketchUp

[cmmwc]

Great software, especially for the price (gotta love free). My only request is to allow manipulation of different sections of the same wall. For example: I designed a kitchen with a tile backspash, and painted walls above the cabinetry. It would be nice to model both textures on the same wall. Plus that wall extended into the dining area which was to be painted a different color. (I worked that part out) Still love the program, looking forward to the next iteration.

Bottom line: Get this program

[cmmwc]

Ok, one more request, but only because its really hard to get Mac-friendly software that is so great and is free, and because y'all did such a great job on this one. So, how about a landscaping program?

[SweetHome3D]

You can create a thin wall with a different color/texture, make it less high than the main wall and place it in front of it.

[Bleenderhead]

It's good, but it could use some more work. For instance, it would really be great if the topology of the export were cleaner, meaning merged walls aren't just intersecting geometries on export, so that you can actually make t-junctions that work. And the snapping doesn't work right; it shows the line, but doesn't actually snap. The way holes are put in walls where windows go is good topology editing, but the fact that you  can't make a wall dividing two rooms.

[SweetHome3D]

Thank you for your feedback.

There's no "snap to the grid" at this moment. I think it's not realistic : almost no home has a wall with a length multiple of 1 meter, or even 10 cm. But magnetism helps the user get a length close to a round value, get angles multiple of 15° between walls, place doors and windows on walls, and place furniture along walls (this list will probably get longer in future versions ;-).

What was your problem with the wall dividing two rooms?

[Bleenderhead]

Magnetism is what I meant, which there is none of! It shows the dotted line, but doesn't snap to the guide itself.

My problem with a wall dividing two rooms is just that you would need a t-junction, and you can't make one properly, because when you export it it isn't merged with the wall like it seems in the blueprint view, so when I render it in some other program, you get those buggy bands and black noise at the point where the two surfaces are overlapping.

[SweetHome3D]

By the way, note that a new video describing version 1.7 is available since last week.

[ndros13]

Fantastic piece of software, many many thanks!

[wasitrealy]

[SweetHome3D]

[mikethedj4]

GREAT PROGRAM!!!!!!!!

[Abrown516]

I just downloaded Sweet Home. It's awesome! I can't find any entrance doors. I would think that I could download 3d figures, am I right?

[SweetHome3D]

As shown in this video tutorial, the entrance door is an imported 3D model.

Go to "3D models" page on Sweet Home 3D web site or click on the "Find models" button in the wizard launched by the "Furniture > Import furniture..." menu item.

[hellolee1]

i cant find any plans when i look for them in my documents are they a seperat download ore is there a ddiffrent place i can find them ??

[SweetHome3D]

If you search for examples, look at Documentation page on Sweet Home 3D web site

[othement]

can i export to 3ds max?

[SweetHome3D]

No, you can't export.

[SweetHome3D]

From version 1.4, it's possible to export in OBJ + MTL format

[vell2782]

[SweetHome3D]

Sweet Home 3D is free at download and at use (GPL license).

[42strauss]

Not getting audio for this clip (mac or pc). Am I missing something?

[SweetHome3D]

No ;-)

[WatchTv12]

This is Excellent and very interesting are there any new versions or upgtrades yet?

[SweetHome3D]

New features should be available before the end of the year.

[92ltu92]

My house has basement and ground floor and 1st floor, can I do those things on this program?

[SweetHome3D]

Sweet Home 3D doesn't manage multiple floors in the same document at this time, but you can edit more than one document simultaneously to create the different levels of a home, and you may copy paste some parts of a plan between opened documents.

[karategirl123456]

can you get floors on this????

[SweetHome3D]

Not at this time.

[suhailkhan65]

thanx , it helps a lot , all i wanna ask is what version is this?

pliz tell

[SweetHome3D]

This video was built with version 1.2.

From version 1.3, importing 3D models is a little simpler, as you don't need to unzip files and you may import groups of models stored in a SH3F file.
