Lost items

[Robbyvenetian]

Hello guys, I had to replace the computer and I have the previous works in a hard disk. In these works I created a lot of items. Is there a quick way to save them in the new downloaded version of Sweethome3D in the new pc? Thank you.

If you edited your projects with the downloadable version, I fear that they are lost unless you made a backup.

They show up with names on when I open the files with the new version in which they are not saved.

What do you mean by "they show up with names on"?

When I open the projects, all the items showed up and are on the left side list how I named and saved them in the other software even if they are not saved in the new software folders download.

So you seem to have found your SH3D files which is already a good thing.
A SH3D file contains a copy of all the 3D models and texture images it needs. This allows to transfer it easily without the requirement to install additional libraries on everything computer where you want to show it.
If you have missing models in your catalog (top left part of the main window), you can copy them from the folder where they are saved keeping the same organization explained here.

Thank you very much! I'm going to do that this afternoon.
