hello,

when i want to place a window the location is given in x,y which are absolute coordinates. Is there a comfortable way to use e.g. the distance from the perpendicular wall?

Note also that the precision in dimension lines created with the mouse depends on the current zoom factor in the plan, simply because of pixel precision.

Could you tell me how I can get the actual dimensions without rounding/truncation of values then?

ok, after I worked around the other problem (thread 11700) I'll believe you.

<wall id='wall-608b4e00-8fde-4b81-a288-7f06f1a7f87d' xStart='0.0' yStart='0.0' xEnd='100.0' yEnd='0.0' height='243.84' thickness='32.0' pattern='hatchUp'/>
<wall id='wall-abaa7af6-8b53-4bd1-9c41-ab68d615dc2d' xStart='0 ...

I would not have thought that did the trick apparently

yes I updated several packages like kernel and libzip
but as I can uncompress the files outside sweethome3d I wouldnt suspect a problem with external packages
explicitly the crc checksum error would have to occur if it was system issue

i tried openjre8 11 and 17 - all yield the same result
however I can load the demos

Daniels, huh, unexpectedly Im not able to do so - i just tried that twice

I did not update java since I installed sweethome3d - and it flawlessly worked before (opening and saving)

I dont know what could have caused the now permanent misbehaviour - is there some debugging function ?

As said, the ...

i also removed - no success with either file

it seems, I can not modify my post:
i checked your file (9371de37fd1f74aba736459b2c7ca24b) - it does not work either (same error)
what did you do though?
