Sweet Home 3D is a free interior and 3D design software that helps you place your furniture on a house 2D plan, with a 3D preview. This software is aimed at people who want to design their interior quickly.
Whether they are moving or just want to redesign their existing home. Numerous visual guides help you draw the plan of your home and layout furniture. The user may draw the walls of his rooms upon the image of an existing plan, change the color or the texture of the walls, draw dimensions, drag and drop furniture in the plan from a catalog organized by categories (living room, kitchen).
You can import additional 3D models created by yourself or downloaded from different Web sites, and change the size, orientation, and elevation of each piece of furniture with the mouse.
