Front Elevation
How can I create front elevation of my home using Sweet Home 3D software? Other thing is as how to create stairs in my plan as I am unable to understand as how to insert L shape upstairs in my home plan. Please advise.

Re: Front Elevation
Bdembla,
There is no way to automatically make a front elevation or cross section of your house design in SH3D.
Equally, there is no way to automatically generate and insert stairs and staircases in SH3D. I have written a partial tutorial on how to correctly insert a circular staircase, which you can find here (PDF).
I have been thinking about adding more info on stairs, and could produce a chapter on how to make a staircase with two straight stairs with a 90 degree turn, including how to design the ceiling hole.
The good news is that SH3D is open source, and that it accepts plug-ins: you could write your own routine(s) for missing functions (and share them with us?). Of course, that requires that you can program Java, something I can't.
