Re: Sw 3D in Linux
Which of these steps is not clear???
You don't have to install SH3D.
1 - Unzip the file you downloaded. 2 - Right-click the SH-script (881 bytes) 3 - Choose Properties 4 - Under Permissions check the box before Allow execution as program 5 - Under Open with verify that the program uses Oracle Java 7 Runtime 6 - If necessary, uninstall all Java versions and install Oracle Java 7.

Okay, so I tried it again but I think the problem is with Java. I followed the steps exactly, but the program will not launch. I updated my drivers, but to no avail.
Yes, but it still didn't work. I updated my drivers and made sure that Java 7 was the only one installed. I went to the Java web site to test it and it does work, but it won't start the program.
So I reinstalled Ubuntu 14.04 and made sure that all Java and drivers were in proper working order, Terminal states that they're fine. But it still won't launch. Java launches other programs, but not SH3D 4.4.

Re: Sw 3D in Linux
Strange, Ubuntu 14.04 works fine for me, as did previous versions. Over the years I have had some minor issues, but never something this big, as far as I remember.
Did you check the FAQ? Maybe you have an "old" computer with a graphics card that is not compatible?

Re: Sw 3D in Linux
If Sweet Home 3D 4.3 works, I don't think it could be a driver issue, and amyelizabeth's log doesn't seem to report any issue. amyelizabeth, does the program crash or just hang? Did you also try the Java Web Start link?

I did check the FAQ and some one did have a similar problem, but under the .jar file.
I can launch and use the shell script by drag and dropping it into Terminal and receive full program capability. (Just don't run it as root, the interface changes.)
.jar file runs well too, but I wanted the installed version. My computer is from 2008 and I guess it's off to the store to see about updating my graphics card!
But I thank you for being responsive and very helpful! It is very much appreciated.
The program does nothing. I click and it doesn't even give me a splash screen.
I did try the Java Web Start and I've tried the .jar, both work just fine.
As before, SH3D 4.3 works in normal application, but 4.4. only works when I drag and drop it into the Terminal. Also, Terminal only states that {Java 3D: implicit antialiasing enabled} and runs the program nothing more follows.

Re: Sw 3D in Linux
The [Java 3D: implicit antialiasing enabled] message shown in the Terminal is not an issue, and in a way, it's even helpful to guess in your case that Sweet Home 3D was launched (so the version of Java bundled with it can start). And I don't see any reason why there should be a difference between running SweetHome3D script from the Terminal or directly by double-clicking on its icon.
