Crash on clicking preferences Hi I am using sweethome 3d on an Arch Linux system. Every time I click on preferences the program shuts down instantly and I have to restart it. Thanks |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences Hi Thanks for the reply. I found the relevant part in the FAQ after posting. It works if I download the webstart file but I would rather use the sweethome3d from the arch linux repositories, its tidier and looks after the updating. I cannot find the .sf file to amend with -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.checkOffScreenSupport=false arch must have a different method of organising its files. Do you know where it is, is it in a .jar file? |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences I don't know. I use Ubuntu in combination with the installed version, which I download from the website. Installation is no more than extracting the zipped file into a directory. If you use the web star version, make sure you have Java 6 installed on your system. Other java versions cause problems.

Re: Crash on clicking preferences Erm, same here on Fedora 22, including the inability to fix as per FAQ recommends. Appending offscreen-false won't do the trick. Actually, I only need metric measures enabled - is it possible to do it manually? |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences I also need to only change the measurements system to metric (the international). How to do it? Editing some config file? java -jar /usr/share/java/sweethome3d.jar -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.checkOffScreenSupport=false Doesn't work. Arch Linux, jre8-openjdk 8.u66, sweethome3d 5.1 |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences The web method worked. I installed icedtea-web 1.6.1, which provides javaws, then using the jnlp file http://www.sweethome3d.com/SweetHome3D-NoOffscreen.jnlp from the FAQ: javaws SweetHome3D-NoOffscreen.jnlpOr to just to change the measurement unit, edit ~/.eteks/sweethome3d/preferences.xml to a sane value: <entry key="extensibleUnit">METER</entry> or <entry key="extensibleUnit">CENTIMETER</entry> |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences java -jar /usr/share/java/sweethome3d.jar -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.checkOffScreenSupport=false Are you sure that the .jar file you tried in the command is the Jar executable file available at the end of Download page?Doesn't work. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences Are you sure that the .jar file you tried in the command is the Jar executable file available at the end of Download page? In Arch Linux, the script used to build the installable package, downloads the "Sweet Home 3D executable jar (25.7 MB, same size)" and renames it from SweetHome3D-5.1.jar to sweethome3d.jar in the /usr/share/java/ path. So it should be the same file. |
