"Unknown" Furniture Category? I imported furniture or my exported obj and imported them and it created a Category folder called Unknown. Is it possible to rename that to something else? Sometimes I use a User category while importing but don't see that in the list, just the Unknown one. ---------------------------------------- Steve N Mavronis - Retired PC Tech |

Re: "Unknown" Furniture Category? Put the cursor on the name of the category you want to rename, and type a new name. H ---------------------------------------- Hans new website - under constuction hansdirkse.info |

Re: "Unknown" Furniture Category? And if you used the Furniture library editor, use it again to change the category of the furniture, typing a new name if you want a new category. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: "Unknown" Furniture Category? I tried the FLE but only see options to load and save a Library by browsing to a file location on my PC. In SH3D clicking on the Unknown category just expands it. Right-clicking on it just says import furniture. I’m running it on a Windows 10 computer. SH3D is installed as the Sourceforge version. When I installed FLE last week I had to install JAVA 8 which also pops up on my Windows taskbar when I load SH3D and FLE ever since. ---------------------------------------- Steve N Mavronis - Retired PC Tech |

Re: "Unknown" Furniture Category? What about double-clicking on a row to change the attributes of an imported piece in the Furniture Library Editor? Its basic user's guide isn't so long to read, is it? ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: "Unknown" Furniture Category? I can double-click on any imported item (or right-click modify) in my unknown category (and elsewhere) and the furniture modify wizard comes up. There I can type in a new category name or select an existing category name. This has nothing to do with renaming a user created “unknown” category. I’ve been a computer tech since 1985. I read all manuals. ---------------------------------------- Steve N Mavronis - Retired PC Tech |

Re: "Unknown" Furniture Category? If the question was how to change the default category "Unknown" in the Furniture Library Editor, it's not possible. But you can change the category of more than one imported piece of furniture at the same time if you select them, before choosing Modify menu item. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: "Unknown" Furniture Category? Thanks. I must have missed that unknown is a default category. I didn’t remember seeing that until after I imported some stuff and remember the properties panel saying User so I guess the confusion lies there. However, the software is very intuitive to use. I found out halfway through you can directly type inches and it converts to feet, inches automatically. No more manually dividing by 12 LOL. Also discovered the color picker eye dropper works outside the app window (was always full screen) and I’m able to pick paint colors from websites. :) ---------------------------------------- Steve N Mavronis - Retired PC Tech |

Re: "Unknown" Furniture Category? You may even enter fractions with slashes. For example, entering 20 1/4 will be understood as 1'8¼" ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: "Unknown" Furniture Category? You may even enter fractions with slashes. For example, entering 20 1/4 will be understood as 1'8¼" Yes I’ve been doing that all along modeling my house down to precision of 1/8th an inch! I love SH3D. Being new just have questions now and then. I appreciate yours and everyone’s help as needed. Are there any advantages to reinstalling the JAVA version if I purchase it to help support? Would I lose any settings or plugins, i.e: in-place upgrade or from scratch. I know you get extra models and textures. Just wary I read some reviews where others had issues with the paid version. ---------------------------------------- Steve N Mavronis - Retired PC Tech |

Re: "Unknown" Furniture Category? The main issue with the version of the Microsoft store comes from the fact that on a 64 bit system, it doesn't let you install Sweet Home 3D 32 bit which may fix some 3D issues for some users. I might change the way this version of Sweet Home 3D is installed on a 64 bit system to install also the 32 bit version beside the default 64 bit version, so users will be able to run either version. But at the moment, if the 64 bit version of Sweet Home 3D works on your computer, the version of the Microsoft store will work too. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: "Unknown" Furniture Category? Functionally, besides all the added content, is there any difference between 6.4.2 and 6.4.7 versions? I just changed my storage default "save apps to" location from C: to D: for Microsoft Store in case I buy it from there. When I installed previous things it doesn't give you the choice of an install location. I have all my apps and data on my non-OS drive where I have more storage. I just hate logging onto Microsoft Store. The last time that kicked me off my local Windows account and it was a pain to reset that. I like automatically logging on my home PC using my local computer admin account. Maybe I'm a paranoid computer tech LOL. Are there other online stores for the PC version? ---------------------------------------- Steve N Mavronis - Retired PC Tech |

Re: "Unknown" Furniture Category? From past experience, Microsoft Store version is installed in the folder C:\Program files\WindowsApps\eTeks.SweetHome3D_x.y.z.0_x64__y7v7etvrysvmm and I don't think you have the choice (there's no installation wizard). You can also get Sweet Home 3D paid version from Amazon but they don't serve all countries anymore and it takes more time for updates to appear there. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: "Unknown" Furniture Category? The storage apps location option under Windows settings is where you control it per Microsoft help forums. ---------------------------------------- Steve N Mavronis - Retired PC Tech |
