Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
Do you use levels at the same elevation? I see that the procedure which compares levels for sorting furniture might need some refinement because it doesn’t take into account level index at the same elevation.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
Wouldn't the best way to sort levels be elevation+levelname? That would sort the levels from lowest to highest level and sort the levels at the same elevation by their name. Alternatively the levels could be sorted using the order of the level tabs which would nicely follow the order the user organized his levels.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
If we're collecting votes, then definitely use the ordering of the tabs.
I was always of the opinion that the levels could be integrated into the furniture list as a single tree anyway. My model has a lot of levels and ends up over 4 rows of tabs. It eats important vertical space and is irritating from a usability point of view as the rows jump around when clicked. It would also make finding a particular levels furniture in the list much easier.
It is very minor issue, i do export it to csv and work with that, but for me verifying if I have all items i need to order (pipes, fittings, valves, ...) it is easier to just go trough the "level" and list of items directly in the sweet home 3d as it highlights me what the items in on the plan.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
I corrected the order issue in the furniture list and the correction will be available in the next version. Levels in the list will be sorted in the same order as level tabs for consistency.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
I have the newest 7.2 installed and even did a clean install. Just curious if SH3D has memory usage limits and/or file size limits? Still get that issue where I can load a large complex 233mb fie but can't do save-as or normal furniture file import without using drag and drop instead. I know building my home 3D model is not optimized like a pro (had someone here look at it) but the save-as not working (ignores me clicking on the menu option) is my big issue. Maybe if I combine multiple custom structures like stair steps into single models might help or do i have to dumb down the detail? My PC has 32gb RAM and an i7- 12700kf 3.6ghz CPU and AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT GPU and NVMe SSD drives. Maybe something to ponder for a future 7.3 version...

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
By default, Sweet Home 3D 64 bit is configured to use up to 50% of free RAM under Windows so I'm not sure it's a memory problem. Could you report what information memory information is displayed in About dialog box, in the line indicating the Java used version?
