Furnish my rooms

Post by Erich96 »

Dear All,
thx to the nice persons in this forum I succeeded in designing my apartment with a couple of rooms. Now I would like to put furniture in it. Cabinets, chairs, tables, toilets and so on. I understand one can even design it's own furniture.
Which workbench do you suggest me to use ? Are there any instructions around on how to insert furniture into rooms ?
thank you very much
Yours, sincerely
Erich

thank you very much, phantastic!! Where do I find these models ? I mean which are the words I am searching for ? I tried already furniture, model, 3d, freecad , but nothing useful. I found some pdf files, that's all.

Again thank you very much, this is exactly what I am searching for. And thank for the hint, I will continue to use freecad, phantastic people are around here and very nice to help out others.

Yours, sincerely
Erich

Thx a lot, got it. There is really a lot of stuff. I found also this one:
https://www.aniwaa.com/guide/3d-printer ... -printing/
I noticed every of these sites require registration for the download. Now I open an e-mail account specific for Modelling. I heard also IKEA gives away models of their products, but the website of IKEA is difficult to search on.
Again, thx a lot and have a great weekend.

Yours, Erich

Hello,
I am back again. I tried out to import a module from grabcad. But, I do not have success. I get an error message :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/tmp/.mount_FreeCAIKvwbQ/usr/Mod/Draft/importDWG.py", line 108, in insert
doc = importDXF.insert(dxf, docname)
File "/tmp/.mount_FreeCAIKvwbQ/usr/Mod/Draft/importDXF.py", line 2843, in insert
Import.readDXF(filename)
<class 'RuntimeError'>: BRep_API: command not done


The error message is preceeded by a long list of : "ImpExpDxf - ignore degenerate arc of circle" lines

what could this be ?
Thank you for any hint. I imported the module after having created a structure and a wall.

thank you very much
Yours,
Erich
