Re: 3D view suddenly changes so backround becomes all white and colours in model change
Hi there, I have now removed the 64 bit version of Sweet home from my windows 10 (64 bit) PC, installed the 32 bit version of Sweet Home, created a "SweetHome3D.l4j.ini" file containing the following

#
# Place this file in the same directory as SweetHome3D.exe file to always run Sweet Home 3D with DirectX
-Dj3d.rend=d3d
-Dsun.java2d.d3d=true
-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=false
-Dsun.java2d.ddoffscreen=true
-Dsun.java2d.ddscale=true
-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.deploymentInformation=DirectX

-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.useOffScreen3DView=true
#

In the Sweet Home 3D install folder.

Unfortunately I am still getting the same problem. I am not sure if the above file is actually being used as the the About dialog does not mention Direct X if SweetHome3D.l4j.ini is taken into account

However I installed 32 Bit Sweet Home 3D on another computer running Windows 10 (32 bit) and tried that, and like you mentioned I have not managed to re-create the problem? I also ran Sweet Home 3D in 64 Bit Linux (On the same Computer that exhibits the problem under Windows) as I have a dual boot system and that also seemed to work.

Therefore there is something strange going on under my Windows 10 64 Bit computer

If you have any more suggestions then please let me know. My workaround now is to boot into Linux and use that.

Any further help would be appreciated

Thanks
