Description

Sweet Home 3D is an easy to learn interior design application that helps you draw the plan of your house in 2D, arrange furniture on it and visit the results in 3D.

Sweet Home 3D is aimed at people who want to design their interior quickly, whether they are moving or they just want to redesign their existing home or office. You may:
• Draw walls and rooms of your home from scratch or upon the image of an existing plan, on one or more levels.
• Change the color or the texture of the walls, the floors and the ceilings, importing images of your own patterns if needed.
• Drag and drop doors, windows and furniture onto the plan from a catalog of 1610 objects organized by categories, in which you can import 3D models created by yourself or downloaded from the web.
• Customize the size, the orientation, the elevation, the colors and the textures of each piece of furniture.
• View the changes in the plan simultaneously in a 3D view, in which you can navigate either from an aerial view point, or from a virtual visitor view point.
• Create a photorealistic image of your arrangement depending on the time of the day and the light sources placed in the plan.
• Create a video from a virtual path in the 3D view.
• Annotate the plan with room areas, dimension lines, texts, arrows and a compass rose.
• Print the home plan and the 3D view or export them in files at PDF, PNG, JPEG, SVG, OBJ standard formats, to reuse designed homes in other software.

Learning curve if you’ve never used this type of software

I originally gave this one star. My original complaint was about ‘wall' thickness expands from the middle of the line. It would have been good to alter line thickness to inner, outer or central of the drawn line – Currently it is set to central, making you clumsily draw around the floor plan.

There’s a big learning curve. I have worked out I need to design the floor dimensions first and not the walls. I’m sure a quicker way of designing layouts is possible but I guess the price I paid is reasonable for what you can achieve.

If you want to draw rooms from their inner dimensions, you could also try to draw rooms with the "Room creation" tool, then activate the "Wall creation" tool and double-click in the room to create the walls around it, as explained in the video tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7tpTT5EMG0

Some glitches but stil usable

It takes a bit of learning to fully get to grips with this app, but it is worth it if you allow the time to do so. However, there are many glitches within the app which make it difficult to use and actually slows you down.

For example, selecting and deselecting the visibility tick-box in the property list is extremely erratic. Sometime clicking selects or deselects and sometimes it doesn't. This means that you have to click in the box many times before what you wanted actually happens.

Another example: opening the 3D view and using the mouse to scroll around the view of the drawing does not work when in full screen mode. Go out of full screen and then it works. Annoying and slows you down.

Finally, this app looks and feels like a ported Windows app. It certainly does not follow the Apple usability guidelines and it is not intuitive to use.

However I did buy it after using the free on-line trial version and I use it regularly, so there must be something that makes me do this!
