Import Furniture
Hi there, I am trying to import a furniture. After import a sizes are displayed differently than original sizes. Even when I type in sweethome: width,depth,height etc-an object is still different. Any ideas, what should I do? Cheers

Re: Import Furniture
What do you mean by original size? In which format is your imported model?

Re: Import Furniture
The model has been imported in .obj format. When I put it into Import Furniture and original size is 600mmx600mmx880mm, then Furniture Import Wizard depth width height are totally different.When I retype it, then model becomes different. On the plan it shows a bigger rectangle and the model (inside of the rectangle) very small etc.

Re: Import Furniture
How did you obtain this OBJ file? Would it be possible that you share it?

Re: Import Furniture
You included in your model a small additional part far away from the main object. Removing it should help you obtain a correct model. You could have guessed it because the 3D model isn't centered when you import it in Sweet Home 3D furniture import wizard.

Re: Import Furniture
Hi Emmanuel, Another thing, which I can not sort out in Sweethome. The object's front door has got a different colour and after Import Furniture there is still a grey colour, but it should be coloured.What Am I doing wrong during importing furniture in Sweethome? I have sent you an object via email. Thanks a lot for your help.

Re: Import Furniture
Colours are exported in the separated MTL file. When you import an OBJ file, you should generally keep the MTL file in the same folder (or the same ZIP file).
