Re: The SH3D file failed to load on the web using Sweet Home 3D Viewer
Great!!!The SweetHome3DApplet.html is working now.Thanks for your very useful response~
But Only problem is I have no furniture in the applet.I just edited the SweetHome3DApplet.html like this:

var parameters = {java_arguments:"-Xmx512m -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.deploymentInformation=Online",
showMemoryStatus:"true", 
userLanguage:"en",
furnitureCatalogURLs:"3dr/furnitureCatalog.zip 3dr/additionalFurnitureCatalog.zip", 
texturesCatalogURLs:"3dr/texturesCatalog.zip",

listHomesURL:"",
readHomeURL:"",
writeHomeURL:""

};

I downloaded the files furnitureCatalog.zip, additionalFurnitureCatalog.zip and texturesCatalog.zip.
Then uncompressed these zip files and placed the png/modle into it from sweethome3d.eu and then again zipped in the same way.
But while testing the SweetHome3DApplet.html if they work on or not, there is no 3D model and icon files in the applet still.
What can I do?

thanks

Re: The SH3D file failed to load on the web using Sweet Home 3D Viewer
Hi Puybaret,there is no 3D model and icon files in the applet,but I have changed their extension from zip to sh3f, and checked that the models listed in them appear in Sweet Home 3D catalog. Also can access the url "E:/SweetHome3D/deploy/3dr/texturesCatalog.zip".
So could you give me some advice? Thanks a lot.

Re: The SH3D file failed to load on the web using Sweet Home 3D Viewer

I downloaded the files furnitureCatalog.zip, additionalFurnitureCatalog.zip and texturesCatalog.zip.

Did you change these files?

Then uncompressed these zip files and placed the png/modle into it from sweethome3d.eu and then again zipped in the same way.

Could you give an example of a piece of furniture you defined once modified.
Did you also try the furnitureResourcesURLBase and texturesResourcesURLBase parameters available in SweetHome3D applet? See how they are configured in Sweet Home 3D Online for a real world example.

By the way, I recall that you mustn't reference 3D model and icon files hosted on sweethome3d.com server, to avoid consuming too much bandwidth. You must host them elsewhere.

Re: The SH3D file failed to load on the web using Sweet Home 3D Viewer
Hi Emmanuel,thank you for the quick response.
I just did following:
1.I just Added the following parameters in SweetHome3DApplet.html

var parameters = {java_arguments:"-Xmx512m -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.deploymentInformation=Online",
showMemoryStatus:"true", 
userLanguage:"en",
furnitureCatalogURLs:"E:/SweetHome3D-3.0-src/deploy/online/furnitureCatalog.zip",
furnitureResourcesURLBase:"E:/SweetHome3D-3.0-src/deploy/models/",
texturesCatalogURLs:"E:/SweetHome3D-3.0-src/deploy/online/texturesCatalog.zip",
texturesResourcesURLBase:"E:/SweetHome3D-3.0-src/deploy/textures/",

listHomesURL:"",
readHomeURL:"",
writeHomeURL:""

};

2. I downloaded the files furnitureCatalog.zip, additionalFurnitureCatalog.zip and texturesCatalog.zip.
3. Chanaged the files like this：
furnitureCatalog.zip!\PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties

name#1=Bed 140x190
category#1=Bedroom
icon#1=E:/SweetHome3D-3.0-src/deploy/models/bed140x190.png
model#1=jar:E:/SweetHome3D-3.0-src/deploy/models/bed140x190.zip!/bed140x190.obj
width#1=158
depth#1=208
height#1=70
movable#1=true
doorOrWindow#1=false

texturesCatalog.zip!\PluginTexturesCatalog.properties

name#1=Wooden floor
category#1=Floor
image#1=E:/SweetHome3D-3.0-src/deploy/textures/woodenFloor.jpg
width#1=42.5
height#1=42.5

4. Ran the Sweethome3dApplet.html and no 3d models and icons there.

Ps: I downloaded one or two models from the sweethome3d.eu and placed them to the path like E:/SweetHome3D-3.0-src/deploy/models/.
And placed one or more the jpg to E:/SweetHome3D-3.0-src/deploy/textures/.

I also changed their extension from zip to sh3f, and checked that the models listed in them appear in Sweet Home 3D catalog. And also can access the url "E:/SweetHome3D/deploy/3dr/texturesCatalog.zip".

thanks

Re: The SH3D file failed to load on the web using Sweet Home 3D Viewer
If you use furnitureResourcesURLBase and texturesResourcesURLBase parameters and keep the same models and textures folders, you won't have to modify icon#, model# and image# values.
From the examples you gave, it can't work because something starting with "E:/SweetHome3D-3.0-src" can't be an URL. You should add "file:///" in front of it.

Re: The SH3D file failed to load on the web using Sweet Home 3D Viewer
Yes. By adding "file:///" in front of "E:/SweetHome3D-3.0-src",I saw the models and icons on the applet finally,haha
~ I'm so excited for this. A big thank to Emmanuel.

Re: The SH3D file failed to load on the web using Sweet Home 3D Viewer
New problem is I can't do some options such as "new/edit/save/" on the applet, coz there are no such menu/toolbar.So when will you distribute a compiled version Sweet Home 3D applet?

Best regards
yizhou

Re: The SH3D file failed to load on the web using Sweet Home 3D Viewer
I don't think there's a need to distribute a compiled version of the applet, but there's surely a need for a step by step documentation about applet deployment. In fact, I didn't expect that some people would want to deploy Sweet Home 3D applet on their own server, and once a few ones started to ask some support about this, I expected one of them would start that doc themselves. Maybe it will be you??? wink

Anyway, if your applet doesn't display new/open/save buttons, it's again because you didn't read the existing doc. I know that SweetHome3DApplet javadoc isn't as much fun to read as a good novel, but come on, it's not so long!!!

By the way, describing to the community why you intend to deploy Sweet Home 3D applet would be much appreciated...
