Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
Emmanuel,
1) Installing a new beta over the previous; is that ok? Or does it need uninstalling first? (just to be on the safe side)
2) I did not come back to you over difference(s) in color(s) working areas as difference(s) are too small.... Also in Linux as well as in OSX the versions do work correctly, only 'selection' of item(s) in the working area differ(s) from Linux to OSX...
I don't know if you mean to keep your versions completely in sync question way of working...
What I mean is: in Linux when you select an item it becomes blue and does NOT show the 'corner functions'; in OSX when selecting an item is becomes yellow and DOES show the 'corner functions'...

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
Emmanuel,
Still about the 'javaws' you talk about...
You asked me:
quote The other issues look like Java issues. Could you try to install Java 6 and run the beta with javaws coming with Java 6? unquote
I do not completely follow; is that within Windows you want me to do that? Or in Linux? In Linux I would not really know how to go about in order to change java versions.... ;-)

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
Ed,
In case you are using Ubuntu, (un-)installing Java isn't very difficult.
1 - Go to the Software Center and uninstall IceTea Java. 2 - Go to the Sun website and download Java. (I am using 7.) 3 - Go to this page and follow the instructions for installing Sun Java.
Switching from IceTea to Sun Java solved some problems, and SH3D now runs without any problems.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
Gaytan, you shouldn't worry too much about uninstalling / installing Java. The final release should come soon and it will be delivered with its own JRE.
in Linux when you select an item it becomes blue and does NOT show the 'corner functions'; in OSX when selecting an item is becomes yellow and DOES show the 'corner functions'...
Selection colors depends on the one you set in your system, and not on my personal choice or taste. The corner "indicators" (as I called them in the help) are visible when you select one object. Maybe you selected more than one object during your tests under Linux. Could you check again, because I don't have any issue on my side?

Re: Hans; java version for Sweet Home 3D 4.0
Hi Hans,
Thanks for your advice; I'm always struggling with the right java version for linux, in my case the Ubuntu-based Linux Mint 14 Nadia.
I tend to use for java install (got there while clicking via your link) The java on 'your link seems only for RedHat, OpenSuse etc; the link I use is 'specially for deb-based distro's':
I add the key via terminal: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 5CB26B26
and then run both commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install update-sun-jre
When I try to UNinstall 'IcedTea' via Software Manager (or Synaptic) I get all kinds of different options / entries making me confused about which to uninstall and / or which not to touch... So I left that part alone...
I'll test the latest Linux Mint / Ubuntu version of SH3D now!

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
Hi Emmanuel
Sometimes, but not always, SH3D crashes after adjusting the window size by moving the separator between 2D view and 3D view. I think there is a thread about that problem somewhere else in this forum, but I couldn't find it right now. I encountered this problem in V.3.7. and I still encounter it in V. 4.0 Beta, that's why I post it here. Last time, I got the "spinning wheel of death" and had to completely reboot the system. Could it be a memory problem? That would explain why the crash is not always reproducible.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
I fear it's more complicated than that. But in all case, I'm pretty sure you don't need to reboot, simply press cmd + alt + esc keys, select Sweet Home 3D in the applications list and click on Force Quit. See also this document for other ways.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
Thanks for the hint, Emmanuel. Of course I tried several Force Quit options as described in your post before shutting down the system. In earlier cases, this was also useful, but not the last time...

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
Hi Puybaret, I think there might be an issue with obj-export in 4.0.b18.
What I did: an object in sweethome has a texture and I modify that with the dialogue box "Modify: texture" and change the texture to a color. After exporting to obj, in the other program where I imported the obj, the texture is still shown.
Expected beahviour: instead of the texture, in the exported OBJ, the object should have the color-value which I entered in the "modify"-dialogue.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
Hi Jerry2012, I couldn't reproduce your issue on different objects. Could you give me some additional details? Maybe it doesn't work on a particular 3D model. Thanks
