  • The software, with its intuitive interface and versatile features, provides an excellent platform for creating and visualizing architectural plans. Drawing walls and rooms onto the image of an existing plan, whether it spans one or multiple levels, is a seamless process, enhancing the user's ability to accurately replicate real-life spaces. The drag-and-drop functionality for doors, windows, and furniture from a comprehensive catalog further streamlines the design process, allowing for efficient customization and placement within the plan. A standout feature of the software is its ability to update various elements such as colors, textures, size, and orientation of furniture, walls, floors, and ceilings. This level of detail ensures that users can achieve a high degree of precision and tailor the design to their specific preferences. The simultaneous view of all changes in the 3D view from any angle enhances the user experience, providing a comprehensive and dynamic overview of the evolving design. The capability to create photorealistic images and videos, coupled with a range of light sources, adds a layer of sophistication to the software. This feature allows users to visualize the design in different lighting conditions, offering a realistic preview of how the space will look and feel. Additionally, the software facilitates the importation of additional 3D models, enabling users to incorporate external elements seamlessly into their designs. The flexibility to export plans in various standard formats enhances interoperability and collaboration.

  • I wish there were more Software like this one in different fields, such as3D Moulding. The Creators are indeed very Innovative. I Love it!
  • I run a small Linux distro which runs in ram. I searched far and wide to find something I could use to design a new "unique" building for our non-profit. This fit the ticket perfectly. It only took me a day or so to get used to it, and everyone on the forum was incredibly helpful. I have started making models to fit my needs since I am working with hexagons and this program makes it a breeze. I haven't found a problem that has not been answered through a search. I can't thank you enough.

  • We were building a new home so I searched around for free CAD-type software, and found this one. I did look at a few others and did download one from NCH, but found them either too complex or too limiting .... or too expensive. I only wish that I had found this earlier so that when I submitted my drawings to the draftsman they would have been a little more robust. I've had to do some work arounds for furniture that wasn't available (and I haven't ventured to creating any yet), but generally I've been very impressed with this software ... reasonably simple to use but with lots of features. There are a couple of things that I wish it had, but I understand they have been requested and denied for several reasons. One would be the ability to see dimensions from different perspectives, such as from the inside or outside of a wall so that you can more easily see a space's dimensions. The other is to create walls with starting elevations, much like furniture. (An example would be a buildout above cabinets etc.) While you can work around this by putting a door frame into a wall, it's a bit cludgy as it is harder to visually position it ... but, all-in-all, I'm very impressed.
  • Had to make an account just to say: "I LOVE THE LINCENSE AGREEMENT!" That said, and obviously I have just started using this software. I have been looking for an affordable and useful version of a certain computer aided design program, since I got out of architecture classes in 2009. This is by far the best I have found. If you are looking for a replacement for a certain computer aided design program, to plan out your ideas, this is it. It may not have the exact furniture you are using but being able to change the dimensions of the included assets, allows you to make placeholders. All the functions I have looked for are easy to find, easy to use, and include tooltips for beginners or those of us that have forgotten more than we remember from a class a decade ago.

  • Great project!
  • otimo projeto, programa que facilita demais a vida do desenvolvedor de projetos arquitetonicos. ainda aguardo um plugin ou atualização para fazer cortes nas plantas, fora isto, perfeito, nota 1000!
  • no me deja entrar, llevo mas de una hora intentandolo , hasta los cojones
  • This is an excellent project and I appreciate all the work that has gone into it.
  • What a great project!
  • I'm in the electrical industry where i create 3D floorplans of buildings and put them in graphics on a BMS where the client/commissioning tech can view these. Very easy to use! Very easy to create simple, but yet complex floorplans

  • If it wasn't for the somehow not so modern 3d models used with the program, I would rate this 3D home design program a 5+ star feedback (just joking). For an individual that wants an easy to understand and use 3D home design product, this is the one to go for. Thank you SH3D and EP for all the effort you've put in this project and for sharing this with us for free. PS. I have to say that I hadn't had any bloatware installed in my system along with the program, as per other users' feedback. Just to let you know.

  • Convenient, fast and simple!
  • Excelente update, compatible con todos los plugins que tenía en la version 5
  • Useful to visualise homes you have visited and measured to see if you can live in them. Excellent for designing changes to a home structure and identify structural parts you must not change. The only free program I found that I could use to tile a bathroom and view actual tile patterns screen captured from website with a lot of effort it is very capable. With a little effort you can get a rough idea. I did not need any support the program is intuitive and adding the libraries was a breeze and necessary. I use it on Linux opensuse Leap (2023 version)
  • Help! After update some of my projects can not open.

  • Wonderful open-source floor planner with 3D views, very easy and intuitive to get you up and running in no time. Many thanks to developer/s for this I am very grateful. If you have trouble starting it giving a DirectX/OpenGL error add : export JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.useOffScreen3DView=true" This solution I found on github
  • A munkám miatt használom a Sweet Home 3D programot. Amíg Windows 7 programom volt, korlátozottan tudtam használni. Most telepítettem a Windows 10 programot. Megvásároltam a licencet nem az ingyenes program lett letöltve. Sajnos evvel sem tudom a textúrákat használni. Letöltöm, de nem működik. Ebben kérek segítséget.

  • It had been awhile since I had used this project software but recently found a need for it. I had uninstalled it so I downloaded it and installed it but got a Microsoft Security notice that the software was suspect and I chose to uninstall it. Why is software that causes security issues, like this, allowed to be present as a Sourceforge project?

    "suspect" doesn't mean that it really causes security issues, and of course, it's not the case. I just tried and didn't get any warning.
  • I used this software to project my new house. Very useful and intuitive!
  • We are planning major renovations to the house. This app has been indeclinable
