Different '3D view' rendering qualities to accommodate different...
Hello development team,

Hope you are all keeping well.

Firstly I would like to say thank you for such a truly amazing program!

My request is for different '3D view' rendering qualities to accommodate different levels of computers.

Something similar to how many 3D programs (Art of illusion plus many others) give the choice of Wireframe (with hidden line removal), Shaded (grey scale), Textured and so on. If none of that is possible then maybe a preferences setting that can be set to display very lo-res textures for just the '3D view' while having no effect on the final 'Create photo' rendering

As an example I have access to a powerful computer and Sweet Home 3D is very fast and smooth on that machine but I would also like to model and/or navigate plus show other people a 3D room on a slower computer/s such as a Netbook (with 2GB of memory) for my very first model I have built a 2 floor complex building and the 3D view is too slow and jerky on slower computers, especially a Netbook (Windows 7 with all the latest hardware drivers and DirectX updates)


PS: Have tried the DirectX rendering and it is slower on the Netbook plus produces some '3D view' render errors.

Thought it might also help others who might have slower computers and find the display is jerky (when viewing complex models) and navigating or altering rooms by having different levels of display quality for the '3D view'

Thank you for your time and once again for the amazing Sweet Home 3D software.
