Sweet Home 3D 6.1

[Puybaret]

Hello,

Here's a Beta version of the version 6.1. [Links removed]

This will be mainly a maintenance release with bug fixes and a few improvements:
- Interpreting math expressions when length unit is not cm now works correctly
- It fixes offscreen rendering when depth size is not supported
- It brings a few improvements in the plan: a more efficient management of the cache of top view icons for similar furniture, a correct drawing of top views and multi line texts at large zoom factor, a better management of icons updates within updated groups
- It allows to toggle the selection of an object in the furniture list without unselecting other items in home
- It brings support for mirrors on hinge and rail with [font=courier new]sweethome3d_window_mirror_on_hinge_[/font] / [font=courier new]sweethome3d_window_mirror_on_rail_[/font] prefixes
- Information about the used memory was added in the About dialog box:



- It also fixes some issues related to right to left orientation used in languages like Arabic or Hebrew. This will allow to welcome soon a new Arabic translation SH3L file prepared by MFM Dawdeh, as shown below.



I will be happy to read your feedback about your tests. Hope you won't find any regression...

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

I have a model almost ready for this! I just need to find a couple of hours to update the model and test, it's been a tough start of the year for my free time

From the changelog, a lot of sweet updates!

Sweet Home 3D 6.1 was released today.

Thanks for your tests [:)]

Dear Puybaret,
I can confirm that mirrors on doors with hinge are working and rocks!

I did not remember that when asking for the feature I already did rename the item in the correct way, so that I lost time to open and find the files, just for seeing that were already ok, so Opened up SH 6.1 and tested, very good! Now we can do almost anything with doors!

I have to admit that since I started using it (v5.4) it exponentially added features and became better, just to be almost perfect for what I need now!

Thank you, and congratulations for this wonderful software (from a developer and from a user)!

For your information, I released again the binaries of Sweet Home 3D 6.1 a few minutes ago, because I discovered that it wasn't possible to ignore prices in preferences pane once you chose a currency. Version in About dialog box is now 6.1a. Sorry for any inconvenience.

I just released a new version 6.1.2 of Sweet Home 3D, a small update which fixes shortcuts management under macOS and a regression which prevented from changing the dash style of polylines.
Using shortcuts with a non Latin keyboard under macOS was provoking double actions (double undos, double save dialog boxes, etc!), and I felt that this bug was serious enough to avoid waiting longer to be fixed.

Win7 64bit OS. When opening a file in 64-bit SH version it crushes right on the start at most of the times with a 3d Error: "Sweet Home 3D will exit now because of a fatal error in the 3D rendering system of your computer. Pleas update the DirectX/OpenGL drivers of your computer graphics card"
32-bit version of SH works fine.

I've been having the same issue since every version after 5.4.

Raevlav, Masterrazor, sorry but you should live with this 32 bit "official" solution. I know it might cause some memory limitations, but I have no idea how to use a recent Java 64 bit version in your cases.
The only solution that might still work for a while is to install a 64 bit version of Sweet Home 3D that works for you, backup the [font=courier new]jre8[/font] folder found in the installation folder, install the 64 bit version of Sweet Home 3D 6.1.2 and replace its [font=courier new]jre8[/font] folder by the backup you kept.
