Re: problem with make a Photo
I hope someone here can help me. I know enough to know that I need to increase the memory usage for my program. I have the 64 bit java and sweethome.jar downloaded. My proplem is that I am a complete novice and I don't understand the instructions in the FAQ regarding......execute the java -Xmx4096m -jar path\to\SweetHome3D-4.0.jar command for 4 GB.......How exactly do I accomplish this? Can someone please give me step by step instructions? I am running windows 7 on my machine. I need this quick. My project is for a college course. It is due Monday. I have finished my design, but it is large and has a lot of furnishings. The program keeps locking up.

Re: problem with make a Photo
Hello Centi and Emmanuel. Thanks for trying so hard to help me, but I am still a little bit lost. I have the sweethome file downloaded and saved into the correct folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\SweetHome3D) I am missunderstanding your instructions at the point that you say "right mouse Key on Desktop" I don't know exactly what you mean. If you mean to right click the mouse on my desk top, a window appears with a list of options starting with "view" and ending in "personalize" I don't think that is what you intend for me to do. If I understand your instructions, I need to find the file called "start.txt" then rename it "start.bat" I then open that file and write
@echo off {Java -Xmx4096m -jar "C:\Program Files (x86)\SweetHome3D\SweetHome3D-4.0.jar"} exit
Exactly as you have it above with the text between the {} all in one line but without the {}. Is that correct? If so, the first thing I need to know is exactly where and how to find "start.txt"

Hi, yes I mean Desk top. Sorry, my Windows talk German ;-) right mouse key on free place on desktop, then new, and then textdokument. Then you have a new file on desktop with name what you want. You self can give the Name for this file, for example start.txt or sh3d.txt or what you want. regards Peter

Re: problem with make a Photo
Ok Peter. I have made the file and it is on my desktop. I named it sweethome start. When I double click it. It just opens the file and I see this.
@echo off Java -Xmx4096m -jar "C:\Program Files (x86)\SweetHome3D\SweetHome3D-4.0.jar" exit
Nothing actually happens other than the file I created is now open and I have the opportunity to change the code. Do I need to move the file somewhere else, or is the above code incorrect somehow. What you see here is copied and pasted from the file I created on my desktop.
