Re: Add picture on 2D panel only
If you want to add pictures in the 2D plan only, you should create a separated .sh3f furniture file that will contain these pictures, an invisible OBJ file and a PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties file that will describe the fake catalog furniture you want to describe.
As the Furniture Library Editor is not designed to manage invisible models with a visible icon, you won't be able to use (or you'll have to edit the generated file afterwards). To show you how to proceed, I attached the Symbols.sh3f demo file that describes an information symbol and a phone symbol. Each symbol is described with some properties listed in DefaultFurnitureCatalog class followed by # and a order counter. name, category, icon, model, width, depth, height, movable and doorOrWindow are mandatory, whereas the other properties are optional. In your case, even if height isn't used, you shouldn't set it to 0. id is useful to avoid duplicates in case the same model appears more than once in different .sh3f files. deformable is interesting if you don't want to let the user change proportions. You should also define the planIcon property to ensure you use the correct icon, when furniture icons in plan should be rendered with top view icons and not catalog icons.
If you need, you can translate the name and category properties in files suffixed with country code, like in the following PluginFurnitureCatalog_fr.properties French file (encoded with ISO_8859_1):
I hope you can handle this workaround. Of course it isn't perfect since some attributes in furniture dialog become completely useless in that case. I may add a new property in properties files to handle this case in a future version.

Re: Add picture on 2D panel only
Great you like it!
sh3f is a zip file
Thank you for mentioning this important detail. An other important thing: I published in public domain the invisibleCube.obj OBJ file contained in the attached .sh3f file to let anyone use it with no limitation.

My only concern is that the electric socket symbol should be rotateable (the protruding stick should look in the opposite side from the wall). What should I add to the properties files for that?

Re: Add picture on 2D panel only
Is there a way to remove black border around the elements? It seems to be automatically added by sweethome3D.
No, and there won't. This rectangle is used to show the user in which zone he can click to select an object, but it's not printed or exported to PDF / SVG.
Any idea about automatically rotating the icons depending on the base?
I don't understand what you want. Why don't you use the rotate indicator available on each object?

Re: Add picture on 2D panel only
The black border *is* exported in SVG export mode. Just import my furniture library, put couple of symbols and export to SVG.
If I use rotate indicator - the pictogram remains in its original form and not rotated. I guess this also explains why autorotation (when the symbol "sticks" to the wall near it) does not work. I think the problem is in the way the symbols are described in PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties.

Re: Add picture on 2D panel only
Selecting Top view option for Furniture icons in plan in preferences will fix your two issues.
