Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
The drawing modes (FILL, OUTLINE, FILL_AND_OUTLINE) are well taken into account for 3D offscreen images (Quality 1 and 2) but not by the Sunflow rendering engine (Quality 3 and 4).

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
Thanks for your tests. I updated the program to ignore the drawing mode in SunFlow and in OBJ export. I also renamed com.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.ignoreDrawingMode as com.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.drawingModeEnabled that has to be set to true instead of false.
No idea if I'll go further one day with this drawing mode, handling big designs in OUTLINE mode doesn't even seem to be faster.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
Hi Emmanuel,
Ubuntu keeps changing things, whether for better or worse, I am not sure.
SH3D-5.7 is offered in the software store: it installs and runs without any problem. However... if you look at the installation, it is very different from the "old" installation, where you only had to unzip the downloaded file. There are 3 hidden eteks/SH directories, and it is not clear which does what. Using trial and error, I found the directory where I have to place plug-ins and libraries.
These days, Ubuntu uses the SNAP packaging system. The good news is that this package should work for all Ubuntu/Mint/Linux versions that support SNAP.
Is it possible to provide v6.0 as a SNAP package for all Ubuntu users? Is it also possible to include the XmX trick, so that we can increase memory? I have searched all hidden directories, but cannot find a script that has this entry.
Of course it would be even better, if you could find a way in which Ubuntu users get back the ease of use that we had before. That way we could also try out the beta versions, which now, sadly, is not possible.
For your info: I have tried every possible way to install SH3D, using either the original script, or the special Java-1.5 script, nothing works. I have tried every tutorial I found on the internet: nothing works. I have tried to run the betas with Oracle Java v5, v6, v7 and v8: nothing works.
Thanks you in advance!
Hans

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
Tonight, the Beta 11 gets closer to the final release even if translation process may slow down its arrival... It brings some various improvements like: - the ability of total price labels displayed under the furniture list to stack on each other if there's not enough space to display their content. Enough space:
Not enough space:
- a tooltip associated to the Arc extent field in Wall dialog box, to display the length of the middle arc of a wall when its arc extent is not 0
- the ability to enter a minimum height of 0 for sloping walls - the support of ARM 64bit Windows in Sweet Home 3D installer as proposed by arm64appcompatguy - the ability to select 32 bit or 64 bit architecture in Windows installer user interface when it's run under Windows 64 bit, without the need to use /os.arch and /j3d.version options from the command line (these options are still available if needed).
Under Windows 10 64 bit, the 32 bit option is selected by default in the hope it will solve the problems of people who can't run Sweet Home 3D. So, pay attention to this option if you want to run Sweet Home 3D 64 bit under Windows 10. - Under Mac OS X, Sweet Home 3D DMG installer comes with a private copy of Java 8 to avoid being obliged to install Apple Java 6.
This Beta version brings also some important bug fixes: - furniture and texture libraries loading under Java 10 now works (thanks to Jiri Slaby's suggestion) - HiDPI screens are much better supported under Java 8 without the requirement to define a scale and change Swing look and feel. System property com.eteks.sweethome3d.resolutionScale is still supported if you want to apply an additional scale to Sweet Home 3D user interface.
Hans, I hope that version will work for you!

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
Beta 11 only starts like described in my last post (Ubuntu 18.04). And a hundred times longer loading times than in 5.7 (for my biggest project it takes hours...).
