Quick user guide: - Install plug-in, - Select in the plan the walls, rooms and furniture you want to group as a new piece of furniture, - Choose Tools > Copy as new furniture, - Choose Edit > Paste to paste the new piece of furniture in the existing home or an other home.
I hope it will satisfy your needs.

Re: Export OBJ without floor
Emmanuel:
Nice feature, thanks a lot.
It's very nice to be able to export/use a model without the extra floor. However... it's still a bit buggy.
(1) It doesn't work correctly with the sh3d.jnlp version. First time I tried it asked for a browser location, the second time it dodn't work at all.
(2) The installed version of SH3D works correctly. However, it seems you changed something in the coding of the Export to OBJ format routine. The quality of the rendering of the exported object is much lower than the quality of the original. And the applied texture isn't correct on at least one side of the combined object. It doesn't matter whether you use Tools --> Copy or 3D View --> Export , both give exactly the same result.

Re: Export OBJ without floor
Thank you for your tests.

This plug-in can't work with Java Web Start (JNLP) version of Sweet Home 3D. Normally, a message explaining this is supposed to appear, but I forgot to test that. I fixed it.
(2) it seems you changed something in the coding of the Export to OBJ format routine.
This bug already existed when you exported/imported manually (this new plug-in just automates this process). It's the same bug as the one Yafeng reported.

Re: Export OBJ without floor
The bug about textures change mentioned above was fixed in the version 2.4.

Re: Export OBJ without floor
I updated the CopyAsNewFurniture plug-in was updated to version 1.3 to handle the copy of - furniture groups, - standalone rooms (only if at an upper level), - furniture elevation at different levels, - texts visible in 3D, - polylines visible in 3D.
Therefore, if you select all at all levels (and possibly unselect a few items after that), this plug-in will copy the selected items respecting their global elevation.
