Re: Crash on clicking preferences
Hi Thanks for the reply. I found the relevant part in the FAQ after posting. It works if I download the webstart file but I would rather use the sweethome3d from the arch linux repositories, its tidier and looks after the updating. I cannot find the .sf file to amend with -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.checkOffScreenSupport=false arch must have a different method of organising its files. Do you know where it is, is it in a .jar file?

I don't know. I use Ubuntu in combination with the installed version, which I download from the website. Installation is no more than extracting the zipped file into a directory. If you use the web star version, make sure you have Java 6 installed on your system. Other java versions cause problems.

Re: Crash on clicking preferences
Erm, same here on Fedora 22, including the inability to fix as per FAQ recommends. Appending offscreen-false won't do the trick. Actually, I only need metric measures enabled - is it possible to do it manually?
Or to just to change the measurement unit, edit ~/.eteks/sweethome3d/preferences.xml to a sane value: <entry key="extensibleUnit">METER</entry> or <entry key="extensibleUnit">CENTIMETER</entry>
Are you sure that the .jar file you tried in the command is the Jar executable file available at the end of Download page?

In Arch Linux, the script used to build the installable package, downloads the "Sweet Home 3D executable jar (25.7 MB, same size)" and renames it from SweetHome3D-5.1.jar to sweethome3d.jar in the /usr/share/java/ path. So it should be the same file.
