Adequate memory usage

Post by BLAlley »

I like the program, but it needs to use more memory than 540MB. It is, after all, a 3d graphics program. 540 isn't enough to work on his res photos. Either that, or let it use my graphics card, which is wasted.

I know there is a way to get a GB of usage, but the instructions don't actually explain how to format the code in the .ini file.

Is that coming? I'd gladly pay if I can use it to model more than a box.

Please, read this section in the FAQ:
How can I adjust the memory used by Sweet Home 3D?

I read that, but don't understand how to enter the code in the file.

Which operating system are you using? Windows, Mac, Linux?
And how much memory do you want SH3D to use?

Use the attached file, and store it where the FAQ tells you.
Restart SH3D and it should work, allowing close to 2GB of memory for SH3D.

I would love to set as much memory as possible but fear this old bug could occur again. [:(]
