#1 Home Rotator Plugin

[Michel MBEM]

Rotates the whole plan (including walls, rooms, furniture, labels and dimension lines) clockwise or counterclockwise.
The archive includes both binary and source distributions. Uncompress anywhere, go to the 'dist' subfolder and then double-clic on 'RotateHomePlugin.sh3p' to install.
This plugin is released under the GNU GPL license; so you have the right to alter it following your needs and to redistribute it within your own package.
Hope this will help.

Congratulations !
I hope this will encourage programmers creating other plug-ins.

Seems to work nicely - but does not rotate background image.

Seems to work nicely - but does not rotate background image.

In the current version of Sweet Home 3D, there's no method to rotate background image.
One workaround is to rotate the background image with an other program and to import it again.
The other workaround could be to rotate the background image with Java methods in the plug-in, save the rotated image in a temporary file and then change the background image of the home.

[Michel MBEM]

OK! This will be fixed soon. I really didn't thought about it before

[Emmanuel Puybaret]

Michel, it's really nice from you to try to do that. I didn't think either about this workaround at start ! ;-)

Don't hesitate to ask questions about Content objects if you need to, even if after exploring the existing source files you still have problems to use it. In case you don't know, note also that saving an image in Java can be done easily with the write methods of javax.imageio.ImageIO class.

THX for the link.

Thankyou!

[Michel MBEM]

Finally, i've uploaded a new version of the plugin. This one rotates the background image as well as the rest of the plan.However, there's still a small problem that you will need to fix manually: after the rotation process is complete, you will observe that the plan and the background image are not superposed nomore. So you can fix this by selecting the whole plan and dragging it so that it matches the background image again. I've tried to fix this programmatically but with no success. I will continue to try a better solution. All your suggestions are welcome.
Hope this will help!

Hello,

I can't get this to rotate the background image in Sweethome3D Version 4.4

[Emmanuel Puybaret]

I don't think it can work if you use multiple levels in your home

[Michel MBEM]

Naturally, that feature did not exist at the time the plugin was released. The plugin obviously requires an update

[Tim Winans]

Any chance in a plugin that can create a mirror image of a home? Java is not one of my languages. This would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

The dimensions are written upside down after a 180° rotation. I can fix them selecting each one by one.

Hi, Is it posible to rotate a hole Plan only a given number of grades instead only n90º ? Thanks

[Emmanuel Puybaret]

You could use the Advanced plan editing plug-in but I don't think it will rotate the background image.

[Paul Efford]

Dear Emmanuel,
Thankyou for your repay.
Best regards,
Paul

where can i find the download for the rotator plugin?

[Emmanuel Puybaret]

The location of the plug-in is indicated in the 6th message. Unzip RotateHomePlugin.zip (sourceforge.net) and install the RotateHomePlugin.sh3p file it contains.

[Alex hava]

Hi, how to download this plugin? Thanks

[Rodney A Bell]

I cannot find the actual plug-in file to download for rotating the entire plan either.

[Rodney A Bell]

I've seen that plug-in webpage already. The issue is that I don't see a
link to download the rotor plug-in itself!

[Emmanuel Puybaret]

What about taking the time to read a little further in the ticket?

[Brad Kay]

Thank you Emmanuel, this saved me quite a lot of time.
Greatly appreciated!
