Thanks for the suggestion but walls will always remain vertical in Sweet Home 3D. You, developpers (unfortunately I am not), thanks for considering this suggestion which, I am sure, would be appreciated by many others. This solution would also allow to simply add roof windows the same way as for vertical walls. In terms of programming would not it be possible to add a "tilt" parameter to walls so that you could build inclined walls or roofs. Thinking about that question, I came to the simple idea that a roof is nothing else than a wall but inclined. I have found different tips and tutorials to do that, and if I managed to do, I did not found it so easy nor efficient. I think I now master a majority of functions and tips but there is still one function which is not, in my opinion, well implemented : the creation of roofs. I am a new user of SH3D and really enjoy it (congratulations to the developpers !). This topic has been viewed 314 times and has 5 Thread Status: Active Total posts in this thread: 6

But as a tool for designing relatively simple structures, for planning interior changes or just for working out what furniture is going to work best where, it's a little bargain. Let's be honest: you're not going to use Sweet Home 3D to design a mansion or a skyscraper, or even to do a very detailed set of plans for a home build. Exporting these can be a little slow, painfully so if you're exporting in large pixel sizes at 'Best' picture quality – think minutes instead of moments – but they do give a very good idea of how your room(s) will look in reality. You can also create a video walkthrough in 3D view at a resolution ranging from a microscopic 176 x 132 to a massive 7680 x 4320 pixels, or create high-res photos based on points of view such as the building entrance or specific room. The 2D export is in SVG format, appropriate for most image programs, and the 3D object is exported as an OBJ file for 3D graphics apps. If you want to share your plan with others, you can save it as a Sweet Home 3D document or export your 2D or 3D objects.
