Re: Shipping container homes & solar panels

So here I am struggling with intricate sloppy roof... sad

However, I was able at least to draw a very comprehensive roof timber framing using sloppy wall, wood texture and the “invisible triangle” obj, for which I give a thumb up to the author applause

I tried working with the “sloppy ceiling & roof” tutorial provided by Hans Dirske and create obj for export, but it’s mission impossible in my case, obviously.

Anyway, here’s some picts to illustrate the issue.





Cheers

Re: Shipping container homes & solar panels

Hi Okh,

I downloaded solar panels and wind mills from your suggested sites but they are all in .skp format not compatible with object import in SH3D.

Is there a way to covert into a usable format in SH3D ?

Thanks for your help.

Re: Shipping container homes & solar panels

1 - Download and install the free version of Sketchup
2 - Open the model you need
3 - Export it in DAE or KMZ format

That's all.

Re: Shipping container homes & solar panels

Hello all,

I am also new to Sweet Home 3D but don't find it that hard. It a very straight forward software to use.

Reason for writing here is also I am designing and hopefully use my design to build my own container house. Am also trying to make it all self significant with electricity.

I just thought I should share with you here. I will try and post some images of what I have come up with.

Re: Shipping container homes & solar panels

Hello World, first post for me here...

Just jumping in, There are Insulated/Refrigerated shipping containers where the outside corrugated walls are filled in with foam and covered in plywood or metal. This is great that:
1) You have a smooth wall
2) The Wall is about 3 1/2 inches, same 'standard' wall thickness used in Sweet Home 3D.

Only problem is that it is a "Thick" Wall. But this makes it easy to use with the Sweet Home 3D program! (Note, most places I know just use a 2X4 stud and a 1/2in sheet rock/plaster board, making a thinner wall! It is very cheap construction!)

Most containers are 7ft tall, a bit confining for a guy like me who is over 6ft tall! But there are taller containers. I believe the tallest is 8'6".

I find Sweet Home 3D to be a great program, been using it for less than a year now in designing container and other types of homes for a few friends.

Keep up the great work guys! Great program! Great Homes!

Re: Shipping container homes & solar panels

HI, I downloaded a few .skp files, downloaded Sketchup and tried exporting them in both those file formats as you suggested but SH3D won't recognise them.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
