Sweet Home 3D 4.4

[sree.arun.kr]

Before releasing v4.4 I wish it is the time to add an icon file of size 256x256 for the new generation users(W7,W8) with a good quality.

[>:D<]

Are you sure that this icon file wouldn't prevent the program from working under Windows XP?

Ok, I just added a 256x256 icon to SweetHome3D.ico, and checked it worked under Windows XP and 8.

When testing sh3d 4.4 beta, I noticed this:
3d pane: (virtual visit mode) when furniture is moved (in the upper plan) the 3d view gets greyed out. However, when you move the virtual visitor, the pane goes back to normal.
This also happens when you move the size of the window pane.

Has anyone else seen this?

Has anyone else seen this?

You mean the same problem reported by okh in page 4 ?. [:(]

[pencilart]

Yeah, similar to that.

[Puybaret]

pencilart, under which system did you run your test?
If you're under Windows and the 3D view is all grey from time to time (most of the time after resizing the 3D view), I think it's more likely to be an other issue that happens only under Java 7/8. I spent a big part of the day trying to find a workaround, but without success. [:(]

Anyway, to finish better the day, I fixed an issue that was happening in Virtual visit mode for a high elevation of the viewpoint and made it available in the Beta 21. As the correction is a tradeoff that could alter the image quality of the 3D view (mainly on the borders of walls, furniture...), please check if it works for you.

I found a hack that works quite well against the 3D view which gets grey after a resize. It's not 100% reliable, but definitively better on my side. Could the users under Windows who had or hadn't the same problem test this fix with the Beta 22, please?

Hey Emmanuel,
I am using Windows 8.1 with the latest Java update.

I will try out the new beta soon, when I'm on the computer.

Hey, hey, I think I found a much more reliable workaround for the grey 3D view in Beta 23. [:)]
Be sure to test all kind of ways that could alter the size of the 3D view at screen: moving separators at left and top of the 3D view, changing Sweet Home 3D window size, maximize / minimize window, moving window on the screen borders to partially view the 3D view, displaying the 3D view in a separate window and changing that separate window...
