But even if I see into the project all dark rooms, when I save the photo, I get the living room clearer than the others, as if the lights are on but it's not. Could you help me to understand why? I'd like to attach ...

I want to use the same size, shape, arrow design, color, etc. for a polyline without having to go back each time I draw one and choose all these options many times. I have not been able to find a way to make this a default.

When I click up and down, the time changes in steps of 1 hour. When I try to set a specific time, say 08:45 AM, things become difficult. When I delete the entire time and start typing 08:4, the cursor jumps forward and I get something like 08:4A5M. Probably it's a bug that's there before v3.0, but ... hansmex https://test.sweethome3d.eu/support/forum/viewthread_thread,14038 2025-07-31T11:21:41+00:00 2025-08-04T11:04:02+00:00 (Not possible to paste images here?) I click "Create rooms" and then "Enter" to get the blue spot and the little popup with its coordinates. But if I now relocate the mouse cursor, the [i]focus[/i] from the coordinates box is lost. How do I get focus back to the coordinates box numbers so I can manually set values? I've tried everything I can think of.

I drew out the walls for a room and added dimensions. But when I try to modify the wall height (either by double-clicking a wall or right-clicking and selecting modify walls) and hit "OK", it takes me to the upgrade page for the Pro version.FWIW, if I hit "OK" without making any changes, it returns me to the ...

This works fine, but I want to automate it since I don't feel like waiting for every picture to be ready. My batch script is ready, but it seems like SH3D doesn't accept any command line inputs. Is this possible at all? If so, could anybody tell me how or provide a sample file? ...

I can't find a menu or anything to do this. AI says there is a modify menu, but I don't have one. Double-clicking opens a Modify polylines dialog but there is no item to show or delete points. What can one do please?

Is there a way to launch multiple instances of SweetHome3D? I am using the linux version and launching SweetHome3D-Java3D-1_5_2.

I already have modeled the inside 1st floor (and with less accuracy the 2nd floor) but when I try to think about getting the entire house right, I get stuck: The front Yard is at a certain level (it is actually sloping up slightly but I am ok with ignoring ...
