Wishlist: Fast house Creator
Creating your own 3D-Model of a house is difficult, even more If you are only interested in do decoration stuff. Even you get a house as you wish, the next time you have to model something you have forgotten the best workflow.
Please create a Fast house designer.
Ask for basic data every one could get easy
internal total dimensions of length, width and height (from floor to ceiling of the floor) of the house (ignoring rooms)

Re: Wishlist: Fast house Creator
Thanks for the link. I already know the Gallery.
The Idea is more to have a fast way to set-up a basic building without furniture but with the correct dimension. For people that drive by for a solution to design their flat or new house fast, even they do not have a proper knowledge about CAD. If you are able to get some basics fast, people may more motivated to learn more and dig into this.

Sweet Home 3D is already much easier to learn than any CAD program. How difficult is to just draw a few walls? If you can't find something in the Gallery create your own templates by drawing a few basic layouts that you can use to start new houses.

The Problem was never to draw something.
The Problem on my side was to draw it accurate or change things. If I measure a flat and try to get the measured flat into the sh3d I get problems with drag and drop walls. Modify a room is also a lot of work, mostly because I'm not able to measure a wall and be sure even If I drag and drop something the given measure is the same.
It is even not possible that Measures stick on a point even I move it. In that case It is simpler to change a geometry in FreeCAD than in sh3d.

Correct. Don't compare Sweet Home 3D with a CAD application. It has a totally different purpose. Sweet Home 3D is first and foremost an interior design program. Over the years many features were added and it now is also a great program to design a house. Don't expect any specific features that a CAD program has, especially not accuracy. The smallest unit is 1mm which is small enough for any building but is pathetic for a CAD program. You will have to decide for yourself if Sweet Home 3D is the correct software for your purpose. If it is, you will have to learn how it works without expecting that it works the same as a CAD program.

Re: Wishlist: Fast house Creator
..And that's the case I ask for a "Fast House Creator" and for the IFC support. I do not ask for modify an import. I ask for use an import properly.
I do not ask for parametric design, I ask for a way to have a fast way to get a house with several floors and without rooms designed.
internal total dimensions of length, width and height (from floor to ceiling of the floor) of the house (ignoring rooms)
count of floors over ground and underground
With that, there would be a low bar for using the application and user could easy do interior design with a building that looks similar enough, place some room walls and that's it.

Re: Wishlist: Fast house Creator
Probably is not my job but I'm dump enough: 1.
I do not ask for parametric design
I've tried FreeCAD and it is a pain for me. Anyway SH3D have some parametric inputs but in other way than FreeCAD. 2.
a fast way to get a house with several floors and without rooms
Please explain me where you've see this in the real life? Rooms mark the separation between floors. So no rooms no floors. Without rooms your furniture will levitate somewhere if you set some elevation. 3.
and for the IFC support.
I suppose you've also ask imperatively the FreeCAD why they are unable to import correctly sh3d file. 4.
(from floor to ceiling of the floor) of the house (ignoring rooms)
I don't know how it is on your side but in my apartment my ceiling is the bottom of the upper neighborhood room. 5.In SH3D "room" is an 3D object (like a 3D cube) which have in plus a floor thickness. 6.
count of floors over ground and underground
Probably you want to draw instantly a 200 levels skyscraper. It is possible by modifying Multiplier plugin to suits your needs.
Let's make a deal: you teach me to use FreeCAD, I help you to use SH3D. We have a deal?

Re: Wishlist: Fast house Creator
In your case, it would be wiser to use the Bonsai module for Blender than SH3D. It would probably meet your requirements better. For example: AEC Industry: The Bonsai add-on is designed specifically for the AEC industry, enabling architects, engineers, and construction professionals to create and manage BIMs using IFC. Collaboration: The add-on facilitates collaboration between stakeholders by providing a common data environment for BIM data exchange and coordination. Automation: The Bonsai add-on’s scripting capabilities allow users to automate tasks, such as data exchange, model updating, and report generation, streamlining workflows and reducing errors. Customization: The add-on’s open-source nature and Python-based scripting enable users to customize and extend its functionality to meet specific project requirements.

I saw this with friends when they were renovating their house. They first tore out all the walls and then had a house with just one room, so to speak. Then they went in and rearranged the rooms to suit their needs. ----------
For the record: I'm not a developer, and not a professional for designing houses. I use CAD for designing machines and I use FreeCAD only sometimes for private purposes. I like the behavior and Idea of sh3D which helped me design my living room. I try to tell what I think. If you do not think it's valid, then it is as it is.
I ask for IFC because even we, that we only design machines are provided with IFC files, the moment customers need to choose where their machine should be placed. IFC seems every where these days.
