New user questions
A few questions from a new user.. I'm on Ubunutu 8.10 x64

1. Models ... I downloaded/extracted 3DSW and it runs. I also have the models file (3DModels-KatorLegaz-1.0.1.zip) which are supposed to go in .eteks/sweethome3d/furniture of the user folder. This folder does not exist... should I create it? And/or is there any install/configuration I need to do?

2. Homes & Rooms... Is a 'home' just a SW3D file I save - or is there something more to a 'home'?
Is a 'Room' just an area calculation? If I want a colored floor in a room (ie 4 walls) should I create the walls and the 'Room'? Seems like walls/room could be derived from each other instead of manually creating each.

3. Color/Texture: The color wheel selection and the color in the 3d view seem different - what affects this?

4. Crash: 3DSW closed while I was clicking a Room corner - no messages on the screen and it restarted fine. Any ideas why, or how I can understand/prevent this reoccuring?

thanks
