|  |  | Creating a home

To create a home, simply use the default empty document created at Sweet Home 3D launch, choose File > New or select one of the demos available in the dialog box displayed by File > New from demo. Once a home is created, you may draw its walls, add doors, windows and furniture to it, define its rooms from the drawn walls, create some additional levels, update its geographic location, draw some dimensions, some polylines or curves, and add texts on its plan. As the 3D view is continously updated from the modifications done in the home plan, don't hesitate to navigate in the 3D view of a home at any time to see it from the best point of view. You may edit as many homes as you want at the same time, but you should be aware that you may be limited by available memory.

• | The default height of the walls in a new home is set by the value of New walls height in the preferences pane. After its creation, any wall may have a different height by editing it.
• | The floor default size of a new home is 10 by 10 meters. If any wall, piece of furniture or room is placed out of this default surface, the plan pane will be automatically enlarged.
• | When Aerial view is selected, the 3D view is always centered at the center of the set of walls, rooms and furniture.
