Sweet Home 3D 1.0 released

eTeks today released Sweet Home 3D 1.0, a free open-source application designed for drawing plans of a home -- including laying out furniture -- and viewing the result in 3D. Sweet Home 3D is aimed at users who want to quickly design an interior by drawing the walls upon the image of an existing plan, changing the color of the walls, adding furniture to the plan from a catalog organized by categories via drag-and-drop, and change the size as well as the orientation/elevation of each piece of furniture using the mouse. The software allows users to view changes in the plan simultaneously in a 3D view, either from an aerial perspective or from a visitor's point of view. Sweet Home requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later and is available in English as well as French.
