Use Help-About to get info about SH3D and Java versions.

I get the Export selection option with
Sweet Home 3D ® Version 5.0
Java version 1.8.0_51 / 32 bit / 0.6 GB max

Tried different combinations of furniture, furniture+walls etc - and export/import obj works normally. IF there is a selection, the Export selection option appears (after overwrite) when saving/exporting.
