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. |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences Ok, then what did you mean by "it doesn't work"? I also wonder if the -D... option should rather be placed before -jar option. Can you try? ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences This is odd, it did only show the splash screen. Today that command starts the whole application but crashed when opening Preferences. Changing the arguments order as you said, makes Preferences work, thanks! java -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.checkOffScreenSupport=false -jar /usr/share/java/sweethome3d.jar |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences Hi, same problem (crash on preferences) on Linux Debian (BunsenLab). Sorry but I did not understand how did you solved, I installed the Debian package and then I tried the version on SourgeForge. The fact is that Java is out of my knowledge and probably is just me that do not understand what you are talkking about. |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences Just go to the download page http://www.sweethome3d.com/download.jsp download the Web Starter http://www.sweethome3d.com/SweetHome3D.jnlp and open it with javaws |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences goetz, the JNLP file you referenced won't solve wood's problem. It should rather be http://www.sweethome3d.com/SweetHome3D-NoOffscreen.jnlp ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences Thanks for replay. I am not using Sweet Home 3D with Java Web Start (do not have Java 6 installed, should I?). So I guess goetz answer did not fit my problem. And the file indicated by Puybaret is a .jnlp, so (for what I understood) is suppose to be used by a Java Web Starter (same story I guess). |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences Puybaret, you are right! wood, just add the checkOffScreenSupport option when invoking sweethome3d. Your path may defer. dpkg -L sweethome3d will show you where the sweethome3d.jar file is. It maybe: |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences wood, the only other solution is to add the option: -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.checkOffScreenSupport=falseThen, the last line of the script exec "$PROGRAM_DIR"/jre1.6.0_45/bin/java -Xmx1024m ...exec "$PROGRAM_DIR"/jre1.6.0_45/bin/java -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.checkOffScreenSupport=false -Xmx1024m ...---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences Thanks again. It works (of course) now. Sorry if I was a little slow understending. |

Re: Crash on clicking preferences Had this problem with version 5.1 on Ubuntu 14.04. Used the suggested java fix line from the FAQ. Then I could change preferences. A side effect was that I could not longer delete walls. Removed the java line and then I could delete a wall again. |
