Why convert HD3D to FBX?
.hd3d is the proprietary project format of the Home Design 3D interior-design app, storing walls, rooms and furniture as editable project data. .fbx is an Autodesk 3D interchange format for meshes, materials and animation used by tools like Blender, Maya and Unity. Home Design 3D's own support states projects can only be shared as .hd3d, so it cannot write out the geometry an FBX needs.
How to convert HD3D to FBX
Rebuild the design in Live Home 3D PAID
Recreate the floor plan in Live Home 3D, then use File then Export and choose FBX (it also supports OBJ, Collada and glTF). This is the practical way to get a real 3D mesh from a home design.
Keep it as an `.hd3d` project FREE
If you only need to share or reopen the design, export it from Home Design 3D as .hd3d via the share menu (OneDrive, Dropbox or email). Another Home Design 3D user can open it directly.
Convert an OBJ export to FBX in Blender OPEN-SOURCE
If you can get the geometry into OBJ from an app that supports it, import the .obj into free Blender, then use File then Export then FBX (.fbx) to produce the FBX.
About these formats
An .hd3d file is a project saved by Home Design 3D, the interior-design app from Anuman Interactive. It holds a 2D and 3D floor plan with rooms, walls, doors, windows and any furniture,…

Open .FBX details →Quality & what to watch
- Home Design 3D has no mesh or FBX/OBJ export, so no converter or online service can turn an
.hd3dfile into a usable.fbx. - Rebuilding in another app means re-drawing walls and re-placing furniture; the original
.hd3dlayout is not carried over automatically. - Even after exporting FBX from another tool, expect material and lighting differences, since interior-design apps and 3D editors handle materials very differently.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I just convert `.hd3d` to `.fbx`?
.hd3d project files and never exports the underlying 3D geometry, so there is no data for an FBX converter to work from.Is there an online HD3D-to-FBX converter?
.hd3d is a closed project format specific to one app, so no legitimate online or offline converter can produce a valid FBX from it.
