Sweet Home 3D 1.6 is a free interior design application that helps you place your furniture on a house 2D plan, with a 3D preview. This program is aimed at people who want to design their interior quickly, whether they are moving or they just want to redesign their existing home. Numerous visual guides help you draw the plan of your home and layout furniture.
The user may draw the walls of his rooms upon the image of an existing plan, change the color or the texture of the walls, draw dimensions, drag and drop furniture in the plan from a catalog organized by categories (living room, kitchen), import additional 3D models created by himself or downloaded from different Web sites, change the size, the orientation and the elevation of each piece of furniture with the mouse, view the changes in the plan simultaneously in the 3D view, either from an aerial view point, or from a virtual visitor view point, print the home plan and the 3D view.
Each change in the 2D plan is simultaneously updated in the 3D view, to show you a realistic rendering of your layout.
Changes in Version 1.6 (February 18, 2008):
- Modified popup menus to display only enabled items.
- Added support of the importation of 3D models that need other files like texture images, even if these files aren't included in a ZIP file.
- Modified the reader of OBJ + MTL files ; caution, this change may have some side-effects on your existing homes, because the transparency factor of 3D objects read from OBJ files wasn't always correctly managed until now.
- Added support for the import with a double-click of SH3P files containing a Sweet Home 3D plug-in.
- Improved the stability of the on-line version of Sweet Home 3D.
- Fixed a bug that displayed incorrectly the print scale previously chosen by the user.
- Fixed a bug that prevented to display the tooltip of a piece of furniture of the catalog in the English version.
- Replaced JRE 6u11 by JRE 6u12 in Sweet Home 3D installers bundled with Java.
- Added Italian localization of help pages written by Simone Bufalino and re-read by Rosella Mariotti.
