Re: Categories When you import furniture you can set a category name of your choice. The category will be 'created' automatically. (There is no real list of categories, the list is created by getting the unique category names from all the furniture.) For existing furniture in your catalog it depends if the furniture is part of a library or independently imported furniture. For furniture not in a library (i.e. furniture you imported before) you can select 'Change model' after you double-click on the furniture in the catalog list. You actually import the same model again but now you can set the category. For furniture that is part of a furniture library you need to use the Furniture Library Editor. With the editor you can select the furniture and change the category. You can do that for any library, including the libraries you downloaded and imported, but be aware that importing a library update will reset your changes. After making your changes save the library and use 'Import Furniture Library' in Sweet Home 3D, choose 'Replace' and all furniture in the library will be re-imported with your changed category names. Sweet Home 3D doesn't support sub-categories but you can get around that by using category names like 'Exterior-Plants', 'Exterior-Vehicles', etc. Not perfect but it might be a partial solution. A better way is to use the catalog with 'Searchable list' (see preferences). You can type in any (partial) key word. This is especially useful when you have created your own furniture libraries because there you can set the keywords of your choice for every model. The searchable list is pretty smart because you can enter a filter like 'exte pla' which will filter all furniture with the keywords 'exterior' and 'plants'. Considering your sub-category wish you could select the category 'Exterior' and use the search filter 'plant' to get what you want. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
