Under my Windows 10 64 bit, Sweet Home 3D version 6.0 (x64) is installed directly in the directory "C:\Program Files (x86)" without possibility to choose the architecture if Sweet Home 3D version 5.7 (x64) is already present in the "C:\Program Files" or "C:\Program Files (x86)" directory.![]()
Under Windows 10 64 bit, the 32 bit option is selected by default in the hope it will solve the problems of people who can't run Sweet Home 3D. So, pay attention to this option if you want to run Sweet Home 3D 64 bit under Windows 10.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
Thanks for your tests. I updated Windows installer to always display the installation folder screen with an additional option to uninstall the previously installed version.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
I think of an important thing
In the software setup interface or software installation interface, add a memory size setting option.
just like SweetHome3D.l4j.ini
The default use of 0.9G in software 32 is very small, and the 64 bit 4G is too small.Slightly more complicated rendering requires 10G's memory usage.
Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
Great!
I love this version.
Just one question: Is max mem 14.2 Gb?

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
Maybe in a future version...In the software setup interface or software installation interface, add a memory size setting option.
just like SweetHome3D.l4j.ini
In 32 bit, a higher value won't work. In 64 bit, the default max is half of the available RAM.The default use of 0.9G in software 32 is very small, and the 64 bit 4G is too small.
When run in 64 bit, the working limit must be the RAM size available on your computer when Sweet Home 3D runs.Is max mem 14.2 Gb?

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
To all <?> Ubuntu users who have problems running the beta version.
Thanks to the help of UbuntuBirdy I now can try the beta version 6. Here are the program lines you need:
Note the following:
- you can change the Name and GenericName to whatever you like
- you can leave out the Comment lines
- you can change [de] and [de-CH] to your own language
- in the path names change "hans" to your own user name
- make sure that the path name /SweetHome3D-beta611/ points correctly to your file (name and location)
- open a Text Editor and copy the above text
- save and name the file xxx.desktop where xxx is the name you want
- then copy the script to /home/hans/.local/share/applications/
- this is a hidden file, so you need to do CTRL-H to show the file
- under the start button, type SW and SH3D should show up
Thank you very much Birdy!!!

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
So many new great features - oh, Emmanuel, please don't stop [:p]
Due to "3d error" I had to install 6.0 beta 11 with "j3d.version=1.5.2" (Win 7, 32bit) and now it works nice.

There are two great programming highlights since time immemorial: once Linux and of course SweetHome3D!
The result is a law of the universe: who's able to use SweetHome3D on a Linux-System, will be happy!
And of course I will try to make as many people happy as possible by showing them how to use SweetHome3D on Linux.
