Home Builder Works as a Standard Add-on to Blender – Since Blender 3 has implemented an asset browser there is no need to use the custom build of Blender called PyClone. Now you can simply install Home Builder as a standard Add-on to Blender.
Complete Rewrite of Entire Add-on – The entire add-on was rewritten for Blender 3. There are too many improvements to list them all. There are many bug fixes, better layout of the UI, and improved user experience.
Better Organization of the Library – Now that Blender has a built-in Asset Browser all of the assets are displayed in the 3D Viewport Sidebar. The library categories have been simplified to make assets easier to find.
Build Library – The Build Library allows you to snap together components. Parts and inserts automatically snap into openings giving you the ability to add shelves, doors, drawers, and other parts to create your product. All components added have their own properties that can be adjusted to achieve a variety of different results. After designing you can save your custom products to the library for use in future projects.
The best part is the custom products remain parametric allowing you to change material finishes, door styles, hardware, and many other options.
Current Room Interface – The current room interface allows you to see a list of all of the walls in your design. You can hide walls giving you an easier way to design in small spaces. You can also click the View button to quickly view an elevation view of the selected wall.
Ability to Install External Libraries – You can now create and manage your own external libraries. This allows you to create your own libraries that you can share, sell, or purchase from other users.
