3D vision is semi-transparent

Post by PMjf »

I have worked with SweetHome3d for several days without problems. Today I have opened the program and the 3D vision is semi-transparent in 70% of the design and out of orders. The "3D view", "Modify 3D view" "transparency" tab is opaque.
Attached link to see image of the 3D vision.
Could someone tell me the reason?
I work with a laptop with intel iris graphics and all my 3D programs work perfectly. I have reinstalled SweetHome3D.

Maybe, your design has too many transparent parts. Are the blue parts supposed to be transparent?

No. In this link is the original design. Yesterday the program worked OK. When opening it today it doesn't work well. Curious. It also works badly if I start a new design with only 4 walls.

Then it could be a graphics driver error. Do you run Sweet Home 3D 32 or 64 bit (see About dialog)? If you use the 32 bit version, try the 64 bit version by running the installer again, and choose 64 bit architecture when prompted (or the opposite if you run the 64 bit version).

By the way, very nice design!

Unfortunately it hasn't worked. I use 64-bit version, but OPENGL Iris Xe graphics driver does not support 32-bit version of SweetHome3D.
Thanks for your try.

Could you try to install Sweet Home 3D with the older version 1.5.2 of Java 3D with the command:

Code: Select all

SweetHome3D-7.1-windows.exe /j3d.version=1.5.2 /os.arch=x64
using the following instructions:
- Press Windows + R keys
- Type "cmd" and press Enter key
- Drag and drop the icon of the installer SweetHome3D-7.1-windows.exe in the command window
- Type a space in the cmd window
- Copy "/j3d.version=1.5.2 /os.arch=x64" (without the quotes) and paste it in the cmd window
- Press Enter key

Maybe it will work better...

Not work. I have downloaded Sh3D source code to gradually discover what happens. Software is not my specialty because I design hardware (processors for communications). I will remember old times. I will notify you of the results.
Thanks

Too bad [:(]
Meanwhile, you may use the Online version too even if it proposes less features.
