What is HomeByMe and why should I publish my model there?

HomeByMe is a free and easy to use home design service. It allows you to model room layouts for your home, apartment, or garage, as well as exterior spaces such as a gardens, patio, and driveways. You can place furnishings and other objects from hundreds of brands into the design to visualize how they would look and fit in the real world.

As a Maker, you can design your own furniture in xDesign, xShape, or SOLIDWORKS Connected, and publish it to HomeByMe Community Content. Then, you can place your model into a HomeByMe project of your design to see how it will fit in the space before you purchase or cut any material to make it! You can also be inspired by the creations of other Makers by viewing their contributions to the Community Content. Use the power of 3DSwym to communicate with each other and start building together!
