You may resize it (preferably without magnetism in this case) and elevate it, depending on the effect you want, like in the following image showing SweetHome3DExample5.sh3d file. Once the invisible box is imported and added to the plan, it will make a hole in all the walls it intersects (but with no effect on objects of another kind). Like in the tip How to create a hole at the bottom of a wall, this tip requires to import an invisible box as a door or window: download this invisible box 3D model, import it in Sweet Home 3D with the Furniture Import > furniture menu item, taking care to select the Door or window option at the third step of the Furniture import wizard, as shown below. It takes longer to prepare this kind of design but, once installed, the effect of this solution can be easily disabled and enabled again. To be able to view the interior of a home behind its walls, another solution may consist in cutting out the walls which hide objects. At these quality levels, only a full transparent setting will actually hide walls and floors, like in the following image computed at the best quality level. This can be useful to view the interior of a small room when you want to adjust the position of some objects hidden by some walls.Ĭhanging this setting will make walls and floors transparent also in images created with the photo creation tool at the two first quality levels, like in the following screen capture that shows the image created from SweetHome3DExample8.sh3d file with half transparent walls.Ī half transparent setting has no effect at the two best quality levels in the photo creation tool. Once walls transparency is changed, all walls, floors and ceilings will be more or less transparent in the 3D view. By default, walls are opaque in Sweet Home 3D, but you can make them partially invisible, by selecting the 3D view > Modify 3D view menu item and changing the position of the Walls transparency slider from Opaque to Invisible. All homes handled in this tip come from Sweet Home 3D gallery. This tip shows several ways to make walls partially invisible, in order to get nice 3D views. It's a bit messy but seems to work ok.You want to show the external structure as well as the interior parts of the beautiful home you designed? Or more simply, do you need to view inside a small room where walls hide its interior? The extra Levels are simply to create ceilings or floors, and in some cases I seem to need one Level to create a ceiling and another Level to to create the flat roof above it. In other words, it is not possible to have two or more different ceiling heights at one level.īecause I have 4 different ceiling heights on the ground floor alone of our meditation centre, which I am designing with this wonderful program, and because I have several flat roofs at different heights on the ground floor, I've realized that I need to define many different Levels, which is what you mentioned in your reply. Funnily enough, it doesn't work if the (four) walls (all equal height) are lower than the height of the level in which they are drawn. If you need different wall heights, but still want a ceiling, you may use the Level function, and insert a ceiling/floor on the higher level. If not all your walls have the same height, you may get unpredictable results. If you have drawn four walls, and then add a room, the ceiling will rest correctly on the four walls, provided they are of equal height. Re: How to stop ceiling floating above walls If not I'll try to find another way of explaining it. How can I make the ceiling sit on top of the lowered walls? The new ceiling "floats" above the lower height walls. When I create the room in the reduced height room the ceiling won't sit on top of the lower height walls but is always above the lower height walls at the height of the walls in the higher room. I've made one room into two and reduced the height of the walls within one of the rooms.
