Re: Weird 3D Artifacts
Yes, it should be fine. I was using v7 with my old 1080 Ti last month and had very recent drivers, maybe a month old at the time. I didn't see a single problem with the 3D view.

Re: Weird 3D Artifacts
Additional Info: I just deinstalled the V7 and installed V6.6a (64bit) and opened an older file, that was not created or saved under V7 before. Same problem with weird lines in the 3D view...
One "simple" question: Is that bug only with AMD cards, or is it known also with NVIDIA graphics?
In other words: If I install a NVIDIA card, should it work (with V6 and V7 and 64bit installation??)
I just installed a new RTX3060 and SH3D V6.6 and also V7 are running well again.

Re: Weird 3D Artifacts
Would you be able to find the version of the driver of your graphics card?

Re: Weird 3D Artifacts
For reference of anyone else here with an AMD Radeon 7900 XTX, I've just installed the Adrenalin 23.1.2 drivers that were released yesterday and they have the same problem with the 3D view.
If I uninstall them using the AMD driver cleanup tool, and switch back to the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, then the 3D view in SW3D v7 looks correct again.
I should note that it's not just the 3D view that is broken. All of the textures in the 2D view are also either completely missing or wrong.
I haven't heard anything else from AMD Tech Support after they asked me to do further testing.

Hi, before I get the Nvidia 3060, I had tried with 3 different drivers, that I found at the AMD Website, but all of them have been from 2022.
As I needed a fast solution (just working on a huge project) and as I wanted also a more up-to-date graphic card for Adobe software, this 333.- Euro for the 3060 have been a good investment ;-)
...But NOW I also WANT a new and faster Intel i7, as THIS is the "bottleneck" while rendering - and unfortunately this will be much more that a few hundret Euro ;-) t.b.c. ;-)

Re: Weird 3D Artifacts
>> Emmanuel, I assume it's not possible to change the renderer from OpenGL? Or use some different OpenGL .dll file in SH3D?
Just to clarify, I meant... "...can we change from one OpenGL renderer to a different OpenGL renderer?"
Or are there any other options we can tweak in the SH3D config files to improve or change the existing OpenGL renderer in SH3D?
I have already tried the DirectX driver and that fixes the issue but requires that I run the 32 bit version of SH3D and that means I cannot render using the faster photorealistic raytracer.

Re: Weird 3D Artifacts
I have the same problem. I just bought the version V7.3 and unfortunately only 3D problems. I have a strong gaming Pc with a AMD graphics card RX6700 XT. I also hope for quick updates from Sweet Home3D so that it runs properly. Please help

Re: Weird 3D Artifacts
Hi,
Same issue for me (with AMD RX580) since installation of Adrenalin 22.8.1 (I tried many versions including the last 22.11.2 with the same result). Going back to 22.5.1 is correcting the problem, but this Adrenalin version is really outdated, probably no more supported by AMD, and reported as obsolete by some other applications which may refuse to start (so it's not a workaround for me).
I've sent 2 bug reports to AMD months ago with screen captures and many details on the bug, so when I read that "they couldn't find any bug report about Sweet Home 3D"... AMD is just lying (or the bug report tool is not working).
Some details about the bug : - The 'weird artifacts' (lines and triangles) in the 3D view seem to have the same origin : the origin point coord (0,0) - In the 3D view, the walls are correctly displayed but not the other objects (doors, windows...). Also, the background is black, no more light gray - In the 2D view, objects are no more displayed and are replaced by a strange texture.
I did some research on the web, but haven't see any other issue like this one with AMD, OpenGL and J3D... Really strange. @Puybaret : if I find something, I'll tell you

Re: Weird 3D Artifacts
Hi, Let’s try first to find the simplest way to reproduce this bug: Does it happen when you draw one wall or one room? Does it happen when you add one piece of furniture? For the three previous cases, does it change something if you use textures? Thanks for your help.
