Render Plugins & Favorite folder
Hey, I just started using the tool; so far, so good, but I have some doubts.
1. can I create my own product library, i.e. my own customised models from scratch, and keep them in my favourite folder and use it for all my projects?
2. Can I export a project created with sweet home 3d elsewhere to generate realistic renderings or maybe use some plug-ins? @sweethome3D. Could you help me here?

Re: Render Plugins & Favorite folder

Yes. You need to find the "Furniture Library Editor" on the downloads page and using compatible models, build your own furniture library. Or you can just import individual models one at a time.
Yes. In the "3D view" menu you can export to .obj format. Most applications (Blender for ex.) can import this format. Note that the output is kind of ugly in the other programs, because there is no structure, and lots of generic named objects. Also the texturing in SH3D is basic, and you will only get realistic rendering if you replace the imported objects materials for realism.
