Re: Some Questions (Rendering, Ubuntu, 64bit,....CAD)
Ralf,

Since you're new at Ubuntu, here are a few tips:

1 - To install SH3D you only have to unzip it. It will create a folder called SweetHome3D (or similar) with all the files and subfolders needed. You can place this folder wherever you want, because no programs point back to this folder.
2 - To run SH3D do this: open the folder in which SH3D is installed and look for the file called SweetHome3D. Its size is 771 bytes. Right-click on the file, select Properties, then click the tab Permissions. Make sure that the checkbox "Allow to run as a program" is active. Now close the dialog. Double-clicking the file SweetHome3D should run the program, although maybe you have to confirm this by clicking Run in a pop-up window. If all is well, you should now be able to use the program and make your first design.
3 - To find the .eteks folder, proceed as follows: open the file manager, then type CTRL-H on the keyboard. This shows all Hidden directories and files. Now you can locate the .eteks folder.

I hope this helps you get started.
