Re: Freezing in SH3D and Furniture Editor importing models
A patient macOS user found the application which caused Sweet Home 3D to crash at the second step of furniture import wizard or in the materials modification dialog box. It's BetterSnapTool and as soon as you stop this program, Sweet Home 3D doesn’t hang anymore. So if you use BetterSnapTool or a similar one like Magnet, Rectangle, Moom... disable them when you want to import a 3D model or modify materials.
Being able to reproduce this bug myself is going to help a lot to fix it. Meanwhile, I'll be happy to read if stopping these tools helped you too.

Re: Freezing in SH3D and Furniture Editor importing models
Just wanted to confirm that I too was encountering this error on import (M1 Mac Mini and MacBook Air), and disabling BetterTouchTool (just for SH3D, otherwise still running) fixed it. What a strange bug! Thank you for the work and for the fix!

Re: Freezing in SH3D and Furniture Editor importing models
After some investigations, I found how to really fix the bug which prevented to go beyond the first step of the furniture import wizard when an application like BetterSnapTool or Rectangle is running. You can test it with Sweet Home 3D 7.0.2d which comes with the updated version 2.4.0-rc-20221118 of JOGL library (if interested, see this technical post). This correction should work from macOS 10.14 to the last macOS version. For older versions, you'll have to quit BetterSnapTool, Rectangle or the like until further notice. I'm looking forward to reading your tests.

Re: Freezing in SH3D and Furniture Editor importing models
Thank you! I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out what was going on with SH3D. I'm running the current App Store build on a 2015 3.3 GHz Core i7 iMac with 16 GB RAM. I was running MacOS 10.14.6 until a couple of weeks ago when I finally bit the bullet and changed to Monterrey 12.6.1. SH3D suddenly stopped importing anything; instead locking up until I force-quit it. Disabling BTT for SH3D immediately solved the problem. Thanks again for the tip!

The version 7.1 released today includes the correction proposed in the temporary version 7.0.2d, and should solve the issue reported in this thread.

Re: Freezing in SH3D and Furniture Editor importing models
Punctum, please give more details about your issue and how to reproduce it because the bug described in this thread was fixed some time ago. By the way, what version of Sonoma do you use?
