Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
Thank you all for your feedback. It’s possible that the GPU has more work in this version because of the lighter management of the frustum front and back distances, but this should also lead to more fluid moves in the 3D view.
Mike, your own 3D models can’t be deformed without modification. Please read this post for more information.

Hi Emmanuel Thx for the response, i did see the topic but the pictures did not fully explain it and unfortunately its all written in greek, as is the topic about showing the sash openings, so i guess i'll just use groups. Mike

I compared this in 5.7 and 6.0 and I have to say yes, in 6.0 there is way less stumbling while walking around with the virtual visitor! I rarely use the virtual visitor, but that could change now...

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
@Mike53 I'm not sure what sort of pictures or description you expect...
Why some groups share "sweethome3d_opening_on_hinge_1_" and differ in last phrase? That's because all of them are supposed to rotate around the same hinge at the same time but each one has different material aplied (they can't make one group) "Sweethome3d_window_pane_on_hinge_1" is special prefix - combination of "sweethome3d_window_pane" and "sweethome3d_opening_on_hinge_1" Why hinges with the same color are not in one group? Because they are not connected and probably would be exported as separate groups anyway - it depends on modeling software you use. They could make one group as well.
Hinges (visible or hidden) should be centered on axis of rotation parallel to height, width or depth of your model (assuming it's oriented properly to axes X,Y and Z). The largest dimension of all selcted/grouped objects making one hinge should be oriented along that axis/dimension.

Your personal objects will be "deformed" after You've add the specific prefixes like Emmanuel and alaX explained. I've do this also with my doors and I try to do for most of the furniture from Contribution furniture. For more help I'am available for You on mail.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
Thank you Dorin i may take you up on the offer. I still don't know if "modify deformation" gets added during the process of making the object or if it needs to be a library item 1st .... is the "modification" made in the mtl or object file ... is it made with the library editor or similar.. lots of don't knows. Thanks for the offer, it is much appreciated. Mike

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
You must modify the obj file. (with Notepad++/ ArtOfIllusion/ Blender). Rename the moving part with new prefixes. e.g. You have a door and hinge objects name; rename hinge to hinge_1 and door to sweethome3d_opening_on_hinge_1_door Save and import. I will tray to do this directly from SH3D when I'll have some time to test. At that moment I don't know other way.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
Dear Pubayet, I think i've found a use case that is not managed by rotation implementation. I have a door with the "rotating" part composed of a small frame and a mirror. Before sh 6.0 my model had the mirror obj item named as: sweethome3d_window_mirror for making it reflect. Now since i want the mirror to rotate around the hinge, i tryed to rename the item but with no success.. I've seen there is sweethome3d_windows_pane_on_hinge but this makes the part transparent and not a mirror! Any hint?
