Vector format for Floorplan Icons?

Hello,

I'm curious if there is a way to bring in a vector format to use as a furniture floorplan icon instead of a .png?

When exporting a plan to SVG or printing to PDF the paths for the walls etc are included but the only paths for furniture are the bounding box of the PNG and not the lines of the furniture. The output of the plan comes out very aliased on my furniture icons, so having the paths would make it easy to stroke in illustrator and export to a vector PDF.

Is there a way to get the furniture paths into SH3D and exported back out in the svg or pdf?

Or are there optimal settings for PNG furniture plan icons so that they don't show up so aliased in the svg/pdf floorplans?



Thanks

Re: Vector format for Floorplan Icons?

If I remember correctly, there is a thread somewhere discussing whether SH3D should support vector (SVG) planIcons. I quite like the thought of SVG planIcon support, but I think it may have been a question of performance.

That said, to reduce icon blur when exporting, consider:
- using your own .png planIcons instead of the auto-generated,
- using the new possibility for larger Icon size in Preferences.

Adding vector symbols in the exported SVG, I suppose would be an option if you really need high resolution rendering - and have enough patience. smile

ok
