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?

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>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.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

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

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

</i> <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 ...

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

<t>Daniels, huh, unexpectedly Im not able to do so - i just tried that twice<br/>
<br/>
I did not update java since I installed sweethome3d - and it flawlessly worked before (opening and saving)<br/>
<br/>
I dont know what could have caused the now permanent misbehaviour - is there some debugging ...

i also removed - no success with either file

sorry for the multiposts

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?
