It could take a reply and a conversation to say it completely. I think too little people realize that sort of things. You'd yes, have to first invest in understanding how everything works.

#SWEET HOME 3D FOUNDATION TUTORIAL PROFESSIONAL#

This typical character of a professional tool. It is basically a noble tool (but you must do everything yourself!). With Inkscape yes, you must do everything yourself. And all these things work like that.īasically for Inkscape I don't see much of a problem in a sense of what does the majority allow? I mean that in other cases things are beyond acceptable. But it is like this tool is available to you that docters, high academics could just take and use as well. Again I'm not approving of certain principles that basically have nothing to do with Inkscape.

But it is like using Inkscape is being invited to the most high standing art community, or how to call it. I am not saying it is how it should be, or that this has anything to do with Inkscape on itself. One would have to consider certain high standing principles.

#SWEET HOME 3D FOUNDATION TUTORIAL SOFTWARE#

Graphical software of various kinds is a knowhow.Īll in all (not being able to say everything), Inkscape it's advanced. For Inkscape it isn't that relevant, though the thing is attention. So there is first a problem and it is rarely talked about. I understand exactly what you mean, Not saying I'm falling into the trap.Ĭommercial software where MS is a to be remarked party is frauding things. If this is what 'Draw Freely' means - it is extremely misleading!!Īnd still, by 'a shame' I meant 'what a big pity', There is of course nothing shameful in this project. and then start struggling with how to actually make those stripes appear the way you want them to - 4 hours were not enough for me (ex software engineer, using graphic software for ages) to make this work.Īll this while filling with stripes in any basic graphic application is a 1-5 click operation!!!

Start Inkscape and set the drawing size.

'All' one needs to do is (I quote the summary of a ~10 page tutorial refereed by your link as the place to learn how to fill with stripes): I have not overlooked 'patterns' in the online manual's index, 🙈🙈🙈 Showing 'stripes as the very first pattern shown' doesn't make actually filling with stripes any less cumbersome. Felicia: I appreciate your passion, the huge effort, and many awesome content produced with Inkscape - as you point out. And speaking of SH3D's pattern functionality - it's far from perfect functionality and usability wise, but it lets you get the job done. Unless you are very fine and picky, there is no need for external raster nor vector editing, And very little need for research. Lazur: I am not at all comparing (or inter-using) Sweet Home 3D functions with Inkscape functions, but rather as two somewhat similar development initiatives - and their resulting product, in terms of getting the job done etc. Thanks people for taking the time to respond !! But it gets the job done, and with quite little effort on learning and research.

In these same years I also follow the Sweet Home 3D, program - developed by much less people, and yes, still far from perfect and full of oddities. The 'solution' I reached, hardly documented, is incredibly complicated, non intuitive, and actually doesn't even produce the results as expected I appreciate the great effort invested in the Inkscape project, BUT Sorry to say - this is a shame! And again reflects a bad tool/software design philosophy aimed (at best) at software people as users, not at graphic designers of any level, let alone simple everyday users. Yesterday I spent 4 hours trying to find out how I can fill objects with stripes and other graphic patterns - a very basic feature in any software that deals with filling shapes. jobs that in, say, CorelDraw or Microsoft Word around year 2000, would take minutes, with mere intuition and no research.

And always needing to spend ridiculous amount of time on research instead of getting the job done. Almost every time - I quit frustrated with either no solution to my specific needs, or an answer that is crooked and/or cumbersome. I have been following and trying Inkscape in recent years, hoping it can become reasonably useful and time saving for my (very simple, very basic) needs. This marvelous initiative is failing its own purpose - big time.
