Adequate memory usage
I like the program, but it needs to use more memory than 540MB. It is, after all, a 3d graphics program. 540 isn't enough to work on his res photos. Either that, or let it use my graphics card, which is wasted.

I know there is a way to get a GB of usage, but the instructions don't actually explain how to format the code in the .ini file.

Is that coming? I'd gladly pay if I can use it to model more than a box.

Re: Adequate memory usage
Please, read this section in the FAQ:
How can I adjust the memory used by Sweet Home 3D?

Re: Adequate memory usage
I read that, but don't understand how to enter the code in the file.

Re: Adequate memory usage
Which operating system are you using? Windows, Mac, Linux?
And how much memory do you want SH3D to use?

Re: Adequate memory usage
I'd like to use as much as possible. My comp has 4GB right now.

Re: Adequate memory usage
Use the attached file, and store it where the FAQ tells you.
Restart SH3D and it should work, allowing close to 2GB of memory for SH3D.

Re: Adequate memory usage
Now it won't start. "Could not create the Java virtual machine"

Re: Adequate memory usage
I would love to set as much memory as possible but fear this old bug could occur again. sad
