I just tried the code you sent and it kills the terminal!

It reads like you just entered the line in a terminal - which is not what I suggested.

To be clear about what should be done:

1. Find the executable script SweetHome3D. It will be a /bin/sh script.
   The command

   Code: Select all

   whereis SweetHome3D

   might find it, but it depends on how you installed it.
2. Save a copy somewhere, just in case something gets messed up.
3. Open this file with a text editor of your choice.
4. Find the line that starts SweetHome3D, it normally follows the comment "# Run Sweet Home 3D". It will be a very long line that invokes java and will look similar to the one I quoted, but perhaps not exactly the same.
5. Insert a new argument to java, that being

   Code: Select all

   -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.useOffScreen3DView=true 

   - as illustrated in my previous post. Be careful to keep the line intact.
6. Save the file
7. Run the file
