3d models/symbols for TFP 12

[quintain]

Hi
Is there any plans for a '3d warehouse' for TFP similar to Sketchup.
I would welcome extra living room furniture and bathroom fittings etc without having to learn how to construct them myself.

Quintain,

It is relatively easy to create basic furniture in TFP.  Just right click in the list of objects, select Add and choose the type of object you want to create. You can also put standard objects into and on top of each other to create more elaborate ones.  If you do that in a blank TFP file, you can export the object (Turn off the Terrain first) as a 3DS object and then import it as a new object (use the "Import Geometry from file" button) and it becomes a single object for future use.

There are also lots of '3DS' objects available, many free, if you do a Google search on it.  These can be imported into TFP, as can Sketcup objects.
They do tend to inflate the memory however more than the inbuilt objects.

Thanks again Allan
My immediate needs was a small corner handbasin, with a pedestal and without pedestal for a bathroom.
I had tried googling dot 3ds (.3ds) but was surprised what I was being presented with; I opened some sites showing scantily clothed ladies, very delightful, but difficult to explain to my wife if she were to view them.
I will try the search again.
