2 Question (Where model 3D "Open Door" and Flip A House )
hi
In Sweet Home 3D examples, I can see that the doors are always represented OPEN but in my archive 3D models there is no "OPEN DOOR". May I know where can I find it?

and second question :

In some areas of NYC, there are houses that are mirrored copies of the one next to it. They share a common wall area (sometimes its 2 walls side by side as 1) between the two, and along that wall, one house is a mirror copy of the one next to it. If the original has a set of stairs to the left, the mirrored house would have a set of stairs to the right, and so on.

Any way to grab a whole house or floors of a house and mirror flip it? I tried grouping but that only works on furniture, windows and doors, not walls or rooms.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

1. And yes, there is ONE example in Doors & Windows section called Open door... cool

2. You must install a plug-in called advancedediting : see plugin section

Two simple searches, you aren't curious. laughing

Bdfd, your answer is not very sweet!
Quanghieuci, are you sure you downloaded all the Sweet Home 3D librairies? There are 4 models of open doors in the free models.
For a mirrored copy, you can also export the whole house then reimport it in the direction you want.

VeroniQ, exporting then reimporting a whole house won't let you change it afterwards. If it will be possible to arrange furniture in it, it won't be easy since the imported house will behave like a big piece of furniture!
