Model icons in Furniture Library Editor are black squares
Hello,

I am trying to create a furniture library with Furniture Library Editor.

The problem I have is that after importing a model to a library (downloaded for example from this page https://sweethome3d.com/freeModels.jsp), it does not have an icon. Instead a black square is shown.

After saving the library to a sh3f file and then extracting it, the png file which I suppose should be an icon is a black square. If I add say 50 models to the library, save it and then extract, I will have 50 identical png files with exact same content (black square), and the only difference will be the name reflecting the name of the model.

I am new to this great application so I do not know if I should provide the icon for the model, or it should be auto generated by the Editor.

I have (had) a similar problem, where the image of imported models in the furniture catalogue was a black square or a black inverted L.

The solution for me is to select the model in the catalogue list, sselect Modify Furniture and then slightly rotate the preview image. I then click through the rest of the dialogue (Continue and Finish) and there appears a new preview image without the black square.

Is the process you described for Sweet Home 3d main app or Furniture Library Editor?

I've had the same problem and just moving the image a little works in both the furniture library editor as well as in Sweethome3D when importing/changing an object.
