What it is
Sweet Home 3D is an interior design application for drawing home plans and viewing them in 3D. Its 2D tools let users create straight, curved, or sloping walls with precise dimensions and add room areas, measurement lines, text, arrows, and a compass rose. As a plan takes shape, a live view can show it from above or from a virtual visitor’s perspective. The software also creates photorealistic images and videos with adjustable lighting and sunlight based on time of day and location. Users can import blueprints, 3D models, and textures, then print or export plans as PDFs, images, videos, or 3D files. The free desktop and online version is free; free desktop editions include smaller catalogs. The browser version requires free registration to save designs. Microsoft Store Monthly Premium is $9.99 a month and includes a 7-day free trial. It is listed for Android, iOS, web, Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as an extension platform.
