Merge two files

[otadmin]

My plan is getting complex and my graphic card is unable to cope. To speed things up I would like to put each level in a separate .sh3d file. This way I can work on each level faster.

The problem is then combining the different files into one to have a 3d look of the whole thing.

Copy and past in another file is not working in SH. Importing plans seems also be no option.

Anybody has some advice apart from buying a more powerful computer?

Copy / paste from a file to another one always works in Sweet Home 3D if you open the second file from the File > Open or File > Open recent items in the menu of the first file.

Copy and past in another file is not working in SH..

.. if you open the second file from the File > Open...

Thanks, now I understand why it works when I close down and re-open the files.

- Increase memory (in FAQ)
- Put stuff you do not need on hidden levels.
- Un-check visible.
- Enable displaying of Model size in furniture list and purge big models.
- Use simpler models for the initial process and replace later (see SF 3D models 261, scroll down for compromises).

Thanks! This is working indeed. Designing a passenger ship with 4 decks. Now I can furnish each deck seperatly and merge them for pictures as required. Merry Christmas.
