Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
It could be a special 3D model you imported, maybe a large one but not necessarily the largest one. Display the Model size column, sort the furniture list on this criterion and hide the largest ones until your 3D view runs normally, then make them visible one by one and check which one slows down the 3D view. But it could be also the number of objects in your project.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
Okay I'll try hiding the largest models and test for that. I could see if it slowed down the 3D view but mine runs pretty fast. But not sure how that would make the save-as option not work. I can do a regular save and save compressed. I'll let you know when I get a chance to do some testing as you suggest. Thanks.

If it’s just an issue with Save as menu item, it’s certainly another issue, maybe a permission issue in Windows. If you can still save with Save menu item, I would simply rename the file in Windows Explorer before saving the project. This will have the same effect as Save as menu item.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
That's what I've been doing. It's just a major annoyance. Also the furniture import doesn't work either and when I do a 3D render I can't save the image. I have to make a screenshot of the preview window resized instead which probably isn't the better quality image. No other app on my Windows 11 Pro computer has such issues. This didn't happen on my Windows 10 computer from a year ago but I no longer have that system. Could be any of the Windows Updates during the year too. I used the regular Windows installer for SH3D and don't have Java installed. When I tried to reinstall before with the Java Web Start version SH3D keep trying to launching incorrectly in a web browser, I think. I have to go back and review my old forum posts when I complained about my issue before for the exact symptoms. Not sure what can be done on my end. I love this program and would hate to resort to learning a different app instead. I'd probably give it up and build cardboard models instead LOL.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
Another thing is I have tons of dimensions in my floor plans. Is that a bad thing?

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
Did you try the suggestions in the FAQSweet Home 3D refuses to save a file I created. How can I fix this issue? By the way, can’t you import a 3D model by dragging its file from Windows explorer onto the plan in Sweet Home 3D window?

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
Yes I tried that with various memory settings, no effect on my issue. I tried it with and without the latest Java installed. Like I said I'm not running the Java Web Start version so don't know if that is required to use the .ini file. The drag and drop method works for the import stuff. Just makes it awkward and counter-intuitive.
