Re: Libraries Updated
Tnx for the info, here the kitchen now:
I did notice about the higher resolution. When I take textures from Skechup, Sweet Home always tell me it’s too high and ask for permission to shrink it.
Also I'm still plaing with the backsplach texture, I use some box (each are 1'4" x 1'4" except for the last one) for it. Insted of using the baseboard option.

Re: Libraries Updated
Since the Ozais plans I'm using has several variants, I decided to try the kitchen in the V-1 option.
I tried a mix of version 0 and V-1 then only 0 version. But I think the V-2 is my favorite so far.

Re: Libraries Updated
I updated the Shapes library with a few quarter and eight pipe corners (Torus/Donut parts). You can't create these with Sweet Home 3D but sometimes you need a rounded pipe part to create your furniture. Now you can resize and use one of these.

Re: Libraries Updated
I added a new manual "How-to Create Beveled Borders" to the manuals section on dodecagon.nl. It explains two different ways to create bevels when you create furniture in Sweet Home 3D.

Five new Furniture libraries. Lots of new models.
So... I've been a bit busy As promised a (small) Bedroom library and four other new libraries. Some other libraries have been updated. There's a story behind most of my models/libraries. I tend to get 'distracted' when working on one of my large projects. In this case the Shopping Mall project. At first I wanted to add a parking area outside the mall, that resulted in the solar parking places with charger poles. Then I got the idea to extend the current subway basement on both sides to include an underground parking garage. That required models like the bumps and parking lines, and of course the always present security cameras. My Stand Builder project had a spinoff with the stadium lights. The Appliances library was overdue and while reorganizing my model sources I fixed that. Another spinoff from my Shopping Mall project and Exterior library. One sign I needed was not enough so I went over the top and created them all. And that is how my Shopping Mall project is already over 10 years in development. But I'm slowly getting closer to publishing.
A new Bedroom library A small library. There just isn't much in a bedroom The wardrobes in the Furniture01 library have been moved to this library. Besides the wardrobes there are beds (boxspring), bedsidetables, mattresses, and pillows in this library.
A new Appliances library, changed kitchen libraries. Existing appliances in the two kitchen libraries have been moved to a new Appliances library. Commercial refrigerators and freezers are added. (The dishwashers remain in their own kitchen library because they are created as the cabinets in that library.)
A new Exterior library
A new Hardware library This is mostly a "parts" library. Things like wheels, hinges, glass profiles, locks, handles, knobs, poles, brackets, etc. I created these models to use as parts for more complex models. This library will update infrequently as I add new parts or update existing parts.
A new Traffic Signs library and a new texture library with 119 Dutch traffic signs Most of the Dutch traffic signs are available in a separate texture library. These will probably be good for most other countries but because they are textures its very easy for an enterprising member to create a set of textures for another country.
If you want to create a set of textures for your own country do it like this: • The images for the Dutch signs come from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:D..._signs_of_the_Netherlands. Wikimedia.org has the same for other countries. That's a good place to get your images because most have a licence that allows redistribution which is a requirement if you want to share them. • Check the scaling of the current textures as a guide for your own images. Some images might need some editing to remove border space. • Start the Texture Library Editor. Select all your sign images and drag them in the Editor window. The whole list will be added. Edit the signs to add to correct licence for each image and a name for the creator. (Select all, and with Ctrl+E you can edit them all at once for those fields that are the same for all.) • Test the images on the appropiate sign board • If you want the texture library for your country hosted on dodecagon.nl the appropiate licenses must be present and allow redistribution. Wikimedia shows the licence for each each image so pay attention to that. • Let me know if a texture needs a specific back that is not available in the current library. If it's not too exotic I will create it and add it to the furniture library.
Have fun and let me know if I missed anything while updating the site. It was quite a big operation this time
