Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.3
okh and mohican, thanks for your feedback. This is encouraging even if I had a report about a regression under Mint 18 where the beta crashed (but fortunately, the executable Jar with -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.version=1.5.2 option worked).
mohican, imported furniture and textures are stored in the .eteks/sweethome3d folder of your user folder, that's why they are still in the catalogs of Sweet Home 3D when you switch to another version.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.3
Hi Emmanuel I am using the new version on windows 7 home premium, the only thing i have noticed is that several of the textures reverted to their original setting, simple enough to change back. It only appeared to occur on larger objects, roofs, grass and patios were affected on 3 different projects. Other than that, all good m8.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.3
Mike, please provide me an example as simple as possible and/or describe how to reproduce the issue your found.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.3
Thanks Mike for the details you sent me. After more tests, I found a stupid regression I programmed: the problem is about angle set on textures. They are simply ignored when you try to set an angle different from 0 in the Beta 7. But fortunately, angles set on textures with a previous version are not lost when .sh3d files are saved in Beta 7 (both in Home and Home.xml entries are correct). I'll deliver soon a new Beta version.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.3
@Puybaret
Introducing this new Home.xml entry in .sh3d files will help programmers who want to reuse homes designed with Sweet Home 3D in other applications programmed in languages different from Java...
With what 3D rendering software the file Home.xml is compatible? Kerkythea accepts the .xml format but there is an error during the import.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.3
After a discussion about the evolution of the .sh3d format with some French experts, it seemed better that the Home.xml uses some XML elements and attributes close to the classes of the model layer, rather than an existing XML format like Collada or BIM XML. Just open a Home.xml and you'll recognize the data handled by Sweet Home 3D classes. I don't dream of creating a new standard, but at least this should help to exchange data with other programs if needed.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.3
Hi Emmanuel Just realised it is not only textures that are giving an issue. I have 2 items, a sliding door that i created in sh3d and part of a fire escape also created in sh3d, each time i open the prog they have reverted to thier original color. I can email you the sh3d file as it is quite small.
