Plugin manager for Sweet Home 3D
Table of Content
Under Linux and other Unix, it's the subfolder .eteks/sweethome3d/plugins of your user folder. I like the option of your ceiling lights in your plugin and the fact that it creates a base even lighting across the whole room. I also like that it doesn't have a huge bright white spot like in the original sunflow renderer. The plugins that aren't shown are ones for which the author hasn't published the plugin file alone, but has packaged it within a zip, so it cannot be installed automatically.
Moreover, only the first post attachment has the ticked ID in its URL, all subsequent posts attachment haven't. I cannot find the actual plug-in file to download for rotating the entire plan either. Any chance in a plugin that can create a mirror image of a home? This plugin brings to SH3D the capability to draw 3D polylines that will snap to floors, walls and ceilings, directly in the 3D view.
#8 Compute the remaining volume Plugin
About hiding some plugins, since the list is quite short I think this is not a real problem for the moment. If the list will grow in the future I will manage a proper way to handle them. About the plugin number, SourceForge isn't the only repository (i.e. official plugins from eTeks are not hosted by SF), so not all plugins have a plugin number.
Is it possible however to adjust the overall brightness that the 'Ceiling lights' option is creating? I feel this would be useful to give the room a base lighting amount, then use sunlight, windows and lights to paint the rest and create highlights etc. The sh3p file with source code is included in the compressed folder. This new plug-in groups together in a specific menu the old plug-ins linked to rendering.
#40 Roof Generator plugin
This folder is shown when you click on any SH3P file listed in the Plug-ins section of the Libraries in use pane. The latter pane is displayed by clicking on the Libraries... Button shown at the bottom of Sweet Home 3D About dialog box. If you want to program some plug-ins yourself, read the Plug-in developer's guide. A PluginManager instance is created at application launch and searchs the plug-ins installed in user's plug-ins folder. Each time a new home is edited, this manager instanciates and configures a Plugin object for each plug-in found at launch time.
This could be useful to draw electrical installations, plumbing, and simple decorations. You can post the plug-ins you programmed in Plug-ins Contributions Tracking System to share them with Sweet Home 3D users community. The packages matching the other layers of the program are included in the Javadoc for information purpose only.
development tools
Note that the Plugin class gives you access to an UndoableEditSupport instance through its getUndoableEditSupport method. These objects implement the Selectable interface as well as the ObserverCamera object , that stores the location of the camera in the Virtual visitor mode. About ChangeColorPlugin, the problem is although the plugin file is named "1.2", the version internally set is 1.1, so the two versions are indistinguishable.
In order to use this plugin you have to install Pan3dView plugin version 1.7 or later. As described in Help forum, this plug-in creates a SH3F file that contains all the furniture you imported in the furniture catalog of Sweet Home 3D. To stop using a plug-in, remove its file from the plug-ins folder and relaunch Sweet Home 3D. At the first run, Eclipse will require you to choose a workspace folder, where will be stored plug-in projects. However, when I have more availability, a plug-in allowing to manage the properties of the 2 rendering engines would be possible. Anyway, an aditional question is how to replicate the settings in the dedicated yafaray plugin.
Also when pressing advanced settings button when yafaray is selected. If you prefer to limit the number of properties files, you might even write the values of the action properties and other strings in the ApplicationPlugin.properties description file of your plug-in. The architecture of plug-in classes is much more simple to understand than the Model layer's one. The com.eteks.sweethome3d.plugin package contains only three classes among which you're supposed to use only Plugin and PluginAction classes, as shown in figure 14 . This UML diagram should help you understand which classes are available in the Sweet Home 3D model and how you can access to them, but you'll probably notice that no constructors and no mutators are cited in it. It's just by lack of room but you can use them with no problem in a plug-in class.
Seems to work nicely - but does not rotate background image. Anyway, you'll find the steps to remove a plugin just under the plugins table on the official plugins page. I may also recommend the Plugin manager plugin, which helps you manage all plugins. In order to use this plugin you have to install Pan3dView plugin version 3.0 or later.
Button at the right of the Main class text field and double click on the SweetHome3DBootstrap class among the proposed classes. Millions of creative assets, unlimited downloads. You can download the paper by clicking the button above. Compatibility with Sweet Home 3D 7.0 lights defined from a shape with lightSourceMaterialName# property (modifications inspired from the changes made in PhotoRenderer.java and YafarayRenderer.java in revision #8313). The new LightShapes.sh3f library available with SweetHome3D-7.0 is not compatible with older rendering plug-ins.
This is a hot teme which I will manage in the future. One workaround is to rotate the background image with an other program and to import it again. If you are a plugin developer you can add your plugins to the Plugin Manager using a self service user interface. When I assign the lights to the project, when I render with simple photo rendering (v2.3), the light does not come out.
I tried the lights added in Sweet Home 3d 7.0 latest update on three render engines. The secondary constraint is that the plug-in must be compatible with this derived version but also with the standard version of Sweet Home 3D. For the SunFlow rendering engine, when using a sky texture with indirect global illumination , the sky lighting must be enabled. The YafaRay rendering engine only works on a few Macs. It's my fault to forget to add this license but I'll fix it in next version IF I will still use it.
The arrows aren't supported yet in the 3D view, but adding them should be quite easy. If you move a linked object the links will follow the object in real time. If 2 or more wirings are attached to the same object, a different offset is applied to each wiring to avoid overlapping. The most useful documentation to develop a new plug-in is the Sweet Home 3D API , generated with javadoc tool. Click on the Classpath tab, select the VolumePlugin sub item of the User Entries item in the Classpath list and click on the Remove button.
