Java Locking Up

[jschlosser]

The program keeps locking up on me. I can open a project and maybe make a few changes or open the view in a different window before it locks up. I have to end Java from the task manager to get out at that point. I am running 6.4/8 261 and have the latest version of Java. I have a brand-new, well-provisioned gaming PC, so resources are not an issue.

Help! And if I can't get this resolved, is there a comparable competitor out there within the hobby price range?

What operating system do you use and how did you install Sweet Home 3D?
Did you check if examples available from File > New from demo or the gallery work?

Not sure that you're at the right place to get information about competing solutions [;)]

Windows 10 Pro. 64-bit system. Used the download from the 3dh website. I just tried your test. It locks up, too. Thanks.

It seems to lock up after I open the view in a separate window.

It works fine as long as I don't open it in a separate window. At least I can finish my project. Thanks.

Zulu locks up, too. Sigh. I love this software but it just doesn't want to let me see what I am doing. Now running Windows 11. Same behavior.
