Re: Unable to Start Sweet Home 3D After Installing Pan 3D View + Wiring 4.4 Beta 2 Creating a backup of everything you have now is easy but it possibly requires a lot of disk space. Backup to an external drive with enough diskspace. What you must backup: 1 - The Sweet Home 3D directory you just found. Backup the complete Sweet Home 3D directory but the minimum you should backup is: - the Preferences.xml file - the directories "plugins", "libraries", "textures", and "languages" - all the .pref files (you can zip them to one file) - if they exist: the pan3dview.xml file and the "PluginManager" directory The "work" and "recovery" directories should be empty if Sweet Home 3D is not running. They will be created when Sweet Home 3D is (re-)installed. 2 - Your projects and downloaded models. These should be safe when you install a new Sweet Home 3D but of course they are lost when you reinstall Windows. It is wise to make regular backups of these anyway. Or at least add the new and changed files to your existing backup. After a new install of Windows you first install Sweet Home 3D. Then you go to the newly created Sweet Home 3D directory and restore backup 1 to it. Then you create a new directory for your projects and downloads and restore backup 2 to that directory. You should create the new projects/download directories with the same name and location as you have them now. That way you will not have any path issues. If you only install a new version of Sweet Home 3D (7.5) then follow what dorin wrote. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
