Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Sorry from my incorrect English.
I am French and my job is 3D Computer graphic designer. I work under SketchUp and I wish to share collections of kitchen furniture IKEA on 3D Sweet home.
With Library Editor 1.14, I have 3 problems
1) The import of one 3D models with a compound name of more than 2 figures is always reappointed: example: " BA 115 " will be called to " BA 11 "
How to avoid this error ?
2) The recording of libraries in the format "sh3f" is sometimes impossible. Is it of for an excess large number of models in the library ? If yes how many models are authorized at the most?
3) When I import a file "sh3f" create with library Editor on 3D Sweet man, the file is imported with the "Unknown" name.
How to attribute a name to the library for example " KITCHEN IKEA "?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Cordially
David Barros

I'm not sure you use this tool correctly... First be sure to install a .sh3f file in Sweet Home 3D with Furniture > Import furniture library menu item. In the Furniture Library Editor, if the default names of the 3D models you imported don't match what you expect, simply rename them by double clicking on the line of the 3D model you want to change.

You miss few steps. The name of file is not the same with name of category. In same file you could have more category. After you load the furniture in furniture library editor, select all and then click on modify selected furniture (the 8 icon from left); in the new window edit the category name. You must see it in the category column (the 4 col.). Now you can save Your library under whatever name you want. When you import it in sh3d will see the category name not the name of the file. dorin

Hi, your question may be a bit confusing, at least to me. Toolbar Icon 8 from left in Furniture Library Editor is Modify selected furniture (in SH3D, nr 8 is Copy - and as far as I can tell it works according to convention?).
But obviously I am missing something. Maybe you could elaborate?

After this save your furniture library under what name you want. Dorin

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Hello,
I made a bad manipulation and I do not know how to cancel ?
If this function does not exist, it is important to add it ;-)
Small notices:
To add a column of information with the "PRICE" of the imported 3D objects, would revolutionize the use of 3D Sweet home.
By exploiting the file CSV, it would be possible to make the evaluation of the prices at the same moment as the plans of our house.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
I would agree that more of the properties could be made available to the user (tntdavid: look at the DefaultFurnitureCatalog.PropertyKey) price being one (+ creator and more).
However, in your case, there is a possibility to communicate with the user of an imported library using the property information: information#1=<font color="RED"><a href="http://www.composant-dynamique.com" >Kitchen model EURO 56</a></font> This provides extra information in the Furniture Catalogue view and - as the example shows - even lets you link to where you can find the item.
Maybe I am missing something, but I have not found a way of making these properties visible in the Home Furniture List. And that I think could be very useful. Especially as this list is so easy to copy and paste into a spreadsheet, it would be very easy to calculate total cost of all items.
As for the Furniture Library Editor, I don't think there is an Undo feature on the drawing board (see this post). I admit this has caused me some heartache too, but if you always work on copies and backup for every change, it is something I can live without. But - repeating myself - I would like as many properties as possible available when using the Editor. Simply because the detour of unzipping/opening the PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties and then reloading the catalogue, is distracting the process of creating objects.
Now, all these issues are, I believe in the wish-list / feature requests, and I feel a bit guilty for discussing them again. After all, whenever eTeks releases new versions, one can tell that careful consideration has gone into the priorities.
But yes, these features would be very welcome also for me. And the good news is, that SH3D is clearly designed for such future capabilities.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
The priority absolute for me is to make visible the price of the 3D objects. Sweet home will be from then on, the best free 3D software for cuisinistes and many other Building trade. If this function does not go out to the next version, the biggest sccès will then be put back.
