Sweet Home 3D 6.1

Sweet Home 3D 是一套免費的室內設計應用程式，主要讓使用者繪製房屋平面圖，並在 2D 介面擺放家具的同時，即時以 3D 預覽呈現空間效果。由 eTeks 開發，這套開源工具鎖定屋主、DIY 愛好者、建築師與室內設計師，提供規劃與視覺化室內空間的務實方案，最大辨識度在於不需太陡峭的學習曲線就能上手。它屬於長期維護的開源專案，在同類工具中評價普遍不錯，是室內規劃領域的熱門選擇之一。

這套軟體適合需要快速畫出房間格局、試擺家具或進行局部裝修規劃的人，無論是單一房間改造或整屋布局都能派上用場。與 Photoshop 這類通用影像編輯軟體相比，Sweet Home 3D 專注在空間規劃，操作邏輯更直覺，但少了進階的材質與光影調整能力。授權為開源免費，提供 Windows 與 macOS 版本，不過目前介面僅支援英文，對不熟悉英文介面的使用者來說，初期可能需要花點時間適應選單配置。
