Launch multiple instances of SweetHome3D?

I searched around and could not find an answer.

Is there a way to launch multiple instances of SweetHome3D?

I am using the linux version and launching SweetHome3D-Java3D-1_5_2.

Attempts so far to launch multiple instances, even from different source locations just shows the one currently running instance.

Thanks,

M-

It’s not possible without dirty tricks, but I could add an option for that in a future version. Why do you need that?

Hi,

I would also love that in order to be able to launch (night long) "multiple photo rendering" in multiple designs/files. Unless there's another way to achieve this?

Regards

I added the com.eteks.sweethome3d.singleInstance system property in Sweet Home 3D 6.5 to make each launch of the application run in a separated process when set to false.

To use this property, add the line
-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.singleInstance=false
to a file named SweetHome3D.l4j.ini and stored in Sweet Home 3D installation folder.

Would that enable us to use 2 instances of sunflow too?

Yes, but both instances will try to use all the cores of the CPU, so I’m not sure it will be efficient.
