Re: Rearrange Furniture There is no need to merge the libraries into a single library before you change categories. You can use the same category name in multiple libraries so they appear in Sweet Home 3D under that category. In the Sweet Home 3D catalog all models from all imported libraries will show that have that category name. Important: Work with the .sh3f files in a separate folder, not the Sweet Home 3D library folder. This will conveniently be a backup folder where no library is lost when you remove it from Sweet Home 3D. Use it as a backup repository with both original and changed libraries. Sweet Home 3D will remember this folder once you have imported a library from it. I suggest you do the following using the Scopia.sh3f library as an example: • Copy the Scopia.sh3f file to MyScopia.sh3f. • Open MyScopia.sh3f in the Furniture Library Editor and change all the categories you want. • Save the library. • Remove the file Scopia.sh3f from the Sweet Home 3D library folder. Start Sweet Home 3D and check that the library is indeed removed. (See About Libraries on dodecagon.nl about how to remove a library.) • Import your MyScopia.sh3f library. Now there should be no doubles. Repeat for the other libraries. The advantage of doing this with individual libraries is that if there is an update for a library you only have to repeat the edit process for that library and not have to merge again. An easy way to get to the Sweet Home 3D library folder: In Sweet Home 3D click Menu > Help > About. Click the button <Libraries>. It shows three lists with the installed/imported Furniture libraries, Texture libraries, and Plugins. Clicking one of the Furniture libraries opens a file manager in the folder with installed libraries, even if this is a hidden folder. Simply delete the library file you want to remove and restart Sweet Home 3D. By-the-way, you can't change the furniture and textures that come with Sweet Home 3D by default. They are not in library files but in Java .jar files and reside in the Sweet Home 3D install folder. You would have to change the source code of Sweet Home 3D and compile it again after the changes. Definitely NOT recommended! ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
