Re: Changing the data directory of Sweet Home 3D
As explained in SweetHome3D javadoc and other places, you should set the value of com.eteks.sweethome3d.applicationFolders and probably com.eteks.sweethome3d.preferencesFolder with the folder of your choice.
In your case, you should add in the folder where .exe are found SweetHome3D-windows-x64.l4j.ini and SweetHome3D-windows-x86.l4j.ini files containing something like:

-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.applicationFolders="Z:\OrganizationName\SweetHome3D"
-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.preferencesFolder="Z:\OrganizationName\SweetHome3D"

Under other systems, you should edit the files SweetHome3D-linux-x64, SweetHome3D-linux-x86 and SweetHome3D-macosx.app/Contents/Info.plist to change the values set on these properties.

By the way, maybe it would be time to explain what you want to do with Sweet Home 3D. You got some help from the community and a minimum of feedback from you would be appreciated!
