Sweet Home 3D helps you to design your interior quickly and easily: draw the rooms of each level of your home upon the image of an existing plan, change the color or the texture of each room, and drag and drop furniture onto the plan from a catalog organized by categories (windows, doors, living room, kitchen), in which you can import 3D models created by yourself or downloaded from various Web sites. All the changes made in the 2D plan are simultaneously reflected in a 3D view, and you can navigate in it either from an aerial view point, or from a virtual visitor view point. Finally, you can improve your home plan by adding dimensions and texts to it, print it along with the 3D view, create a photorealistic image of the 3D view with customized lights, create a movie from a virtual path in the 3D view and export the plan to SVG format or the 3D view to OBJ format to import them in other 2D or 3D software. Sweet Home 3D is available in English, Portuguese, Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Vietnamese languages.

What is new in this release:

  • It's now possible to rotate or move the parts of some furniture, when their 3D model is configured to support such deformations.
  • The preferences pane offers a new Currency drop down list with a default option set to Ignore prices.
  • The texture dialog box was improved once more and proposes the new X offset and Y offset fields to let you shift the selected texture along its width or height.
  • It's now possible to enter some text on multiple lines and align its content on left, center or right. When text alignment is set to Left, the rotation center will be at bottom left of the selected text, and when it's set to Right, the rotation center will be at its bottom right.
  • The polyline modification pane proposes two new options, a Dash offset field that allows to shift the start of the dash pattern applied to a polyline, and a checkbox that will show the modified polyline in the 3D view when selected.
