Sweet Home3D Locking Up When Printing on Macbook Pro
Hi - I've just started using Sweet Home 3D and it's working pretty well. I'm on a Macbook Pro.

The issue I have is that it won't print any diagrams. When I select print, I just receive a spinning beach ball that never goes away. I have to forcibly kill the process.

Any suggestions would be most welcome as I'm having to do screen grabs to print out my schematics. Specifically, I'm just trying to print the flat floor plan, nothing 3D at this point.

Thanks -

Did you try to print to PDF also? Could you reinstall your printer?

I did try that - it never even gets to the Printer Dialog where you can select print, or PDF, or whatever. I select the Print option and the beach ball (spinner) comes up and never goes any further.

As a workaround, you can copy/paste the plan to any imaging software including Preview and you can get an image of the 3D view with the photo creation tool.

Yes, that's what I'm forced to do: cut and paste the image from the screen into Preview and print. Would prefer it to work correctly.

I experience identical problem and have contacted support.
"spinning beach ball when trying to print"
Unfortunately still no solution
The workaround is very frustrating
Tested with version 7.4.1 and 7.5.1
