Seed Home v2 3D CAD
Hint: As of Dec 2020, the Rosebud model is the one we are building and releasing as our first product candidate.
CAD for BOM Purposes + Lumber Cut Lists + Wall Aperture Details
Deprecated Floor Plan
This doc is in preparation for generating accurate CAD. By thinking out the logic of the system carefully, we optimize for build efficiency and thus degenerate to a sound design, which is then CADded up.

Wall Modules in SweetHome3d (Structural Design) and FreeCAD (Complete Model)
See parts of wall modules at Architecture Part Library.
Module Map - Exterior Wall modules - 1-23 are on the first floor - 24-47 are on the second, and the rest are 48-59 for first floor interior modules, and 60-69 are second floor interior modules.
Note: files end in zip. After download, don't extract - just change filename to remove the .zip at the end and file will be openable in SweetHome3D. These can be upgraded in FreeCAD, the Sweet Home is a start.
These files are extracted from the SweetHome3D technical design file for structure of Seed Eco-Home 2 - Seed Eco-Home 2 Technical Design of Structure in SweetHome3D
