Roadmap
Is there a roadmap?
When approximately will version 1.3 be launched?
In January?

I´m looking forward to it...

Good job puybaret!
Keep it up!

Best wishes!
Klaus

Re: Roadmap
Thank you for launching this discussion about Sweet Home 3D roadmap.
I wanted to create a web page for it, but finally this forum is the easiest way.

Here's the features roadmap I've got in mind at this time:
- v 1.3 : creation and modification of home rooms, with textures applicable to room's floor and cellar
- v 1.4 : ergonomic stuff : automatic depth of windows and doors placed on walls, stick and orientate objects to the approach of a wall, better management of magnetism
- v 1.5 : management of lights
- v 2.+ : management of multiple floors, roofs, export to other formats...

v 1.3 shouldn't be available before February or March 2008 (I have to earn some money first ;-).

Re: Roadmap
Just this message to announce that probably, Sweet Home 3D v 1.3 won't be available before this summer, because I don't have enough free time right now to program more things that maintenance releases.

Re: Roadmap
Hello,

Just letting you know that I discovered your application just hours ago and like it very much. The features you name in later releases would make it much better (spec. floor and cellar textures). Keep up the good work (after earning a living of course ;-))

Greetings form the Netherlands,

Jeroen

Re: Roadmap
Hi there
I love your project and was wondering if there is any way of of making it
a web based application.

My idea is to offer our customers the facility to create their own floor
plans on-line.

Any information on this would be appreciated and if we could make this
happen then I would be happy to become a sponsor for your project.


Have a great day

Re: Roadmap
From the description of versions 1.3 and 1.4 at http://sweethome3d.sourceforge.net/history.html , you may guess that the roadmap proposed one year ago changed a little. ;-)

So, here's the new roadmap I've got in mind at this time:
- v 1.5 : creation and modification of home rooms (with textures applicable to room's floor and cellar), and creation of free text labels in the plan
- v 1.6 : ergonomic stuff : automatic depth of windows and doors placed on walls, stick and orientate objects to the approach of a wall
- v 1.7 : management of lights
- v 2.+ : management of multiple floors, roofs...

Meanwhile, I might also test an on-line applet version of Sweet Home 3D.

I prefer to promise no delivery date, but be reassured, I'm still spending a lot of time on Sweet Home 3D development.

Re: Roadmap
Bonjour monsieur Puybaret.
Un grand merci pour votre travail.
J'utilise Sweet Home 3D depuis la v1.3 et je suis toujours autant impressionné par la simplicité de SH3D au regard de sa puissance.
La dernière petite merveille, l'online applet, est sur mon site (ecolonomiqhome.free.fr). Elle fonctionne aussi bien que le reste.

J'ai un peu honte, surtout que je ne vous ai pas encore fait de don, de vous demander un ajout à votre roadmap:
- pourriez-vous ajouter l'export DXF ou DWG en plus du SVG.

Les raisons de cette demande sont l'échec de conversion du SVG, créé par SH3D, en DXF via Inkscape (je peux vous faire parvenir les fichiers ainsi que les messages d'erreur d'Inkscape si vous le souhaitez).
Le format DXF est le plus commun pour l'import de plan dans les logiciels du bâtiment comme Alcyone+Comfie+Pleiade (simulation thermodynamique) et Dialux (simulation d'éclairage).

En tout cas, que vous le fassiez ou pas, un grand merci d'avoir créé SH3D.

Cordialement.

Re: Roadmap
Pour ne pas alourdir le logiciel, je ne pense pas ajouter d'autre format d'export dans un avenir immédiat (à part peut-être pour les images de la vue 3D), mais ce genre d'exportation pourrait être réalisé à l'aide d'un plug-in (y'a-t-il un volontaire dans la salle ? ;-).
Il existe peut-être aussi un convertisseur autre que Inkscape qui fonctionne...
Vous pouvez aussi signaler le bug à l'équipe d'Inkscape pour qu'ils essaient de le corriger.

Re: Roadmap
Je comprend.
Pour le convertisseur qui fonctionne, oui il y en a un: ivcon (un executable en ligne de commande trouvé ici).
Mais la visu sous Comfie, confirmée avec Cadviewer, du DXF obtenu m'a vraiment surpris. Inexploitable dans mon cas.

Merci et bonne continuation pour la v2.

Cordialement

Re: Roadmap
Now that version 2.0 is out, here's a list of the main features that will probably appear in the 2.+ releases:
- Grouping/ungrouping furniture
- Better furniture catalog pane for catalog containing many pieces
- New Display menu to let user choose which pane to display
- New wizard to create 3D models from pictures applied on the faces of a cube, sphere or cylinder
- Creation of videos from a virtual visit
- Improvement of lights management
- Management of levels
- Management of roofs
- Manage portability to simplify the moving of Sweet Home 3D

Re: Roadmap
Excellent!

Sounds like some of them will be really nice improvements.

Is this roadmap in order of priority/developpement?

Re: Roadmap
Now that version 3.0 is out, you may wonder what will be on the menu in the coming releases. wink
So here's a list of the main features that will probably appear in the 3.+ releases:
- Management of levels
- Management of roofs
- New wizard to create one room from a default shape (rectangular, L shape, U shape)
- New wizard to create 3D models from pictures applied on the faces of a cube
- Better color and date/time choosers
- New palettes to edit the attributes of furniture, walls, rooms and other selectable items.

I'll also add pages on sweethome3d.com for plug-ins and web sites that propose textures.

Re: Roadmap
Emmanuel,

On December 6 we celebrate "Sinterklaas", sometimes imitated and called Santa Claus a few weeks later. Whatever the name, it's time to make lists with all the goodies we hope to receive.
I'm trying to picture you in a red cape and a huge white beard... be warned!

From your list, my top 3 in order:

1/ New wizard to create 3D models from pictures applied on the faces of a cube

2/ New wizard to create one room from a default shape (rectangular, L shape, U shape)

3/ Management of roofs
one level at a time :-)

Thanks

Re: Roadmap
>New wizard to create 3D models from pictures applied on the faces of a cube

This "trompe l'oeil" technique would allow to swiftly create for instance a sauna, a shower, a car, a miror with its light simply by starting with a cube and projecting simply between 1 & 3 pictures !

But please consider at the same time a polyhedron
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyhedron
So that one can create for instance a hexagonal table or greek column :-)

Can you tell me when it will be works?

This very important for me.

Re: Roadmap

I don't think any new big feature will appear in the coming months. This is a volunteer work and I have to earn money too.
If it's very important for you, you should have a look to the Documentation page for workarounds or give a try to the other software which already offer this feature.

Re: Roadmap
Management of levels would be my priority.
I hate workarounds 8-) !!

I am patient and will wait until you have time to continue development.

Keep up the good work,
Stu

Re: Roadmap
(Once again) thanks for the program and great work!

Whenever you have time it would be very nice to know to have an update in this thread to get an idea about what features that we might (not) expect in the upcoming year.

Another thought/question that may be a bit offtopic for this thread; Have you ever considered to completly open up source/development for SH3D so that other developers could contribute code to the core of SH3D?

...and a happy new SH3D year! ;-)

Re: Roadmap

It's difficult to say. Some features appear because users request them, some others because some companies pay for them and I also choose myself in the list depending on my mood. And of course, it depends on the free time I can spend on programming new features, because Sweet Home 3D doesn't provide enough money to let me spend all my time on it.

Have you ever considered to completly open up source/development for SH3D so that other developers could contribute code to the core of SH3D?
Sweet Home 3D is completely open source already and distributed under GNU GPL. Once in a while, I receive some proposal from developers who want to contribute to the program, but strangely, they rarely go further.

Happy new year to everyone! smile

Re: Roadmap
I really appreciate your work! It allows my creativity just flow. smile

I understand it is voluntary, which makes this even more fascinating to me. If I knew programming, I would help, but I dont. crying

Thank you!!
