Transferring sweethome to new pc

Post by hobbyrv »

Can anyone please tell me how to transfer my sweethome files, with my own selected library, to my new pc, with windows 10. And do I have the latest version 6.2 then?

Bij voorkeur in het Nederlands, English 2nd.

As explained here, you should copy the content of the folder C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D where user is your login.

I think I did the right steps, but I still have the same difficuties. I did the following actions:
1. I pasted %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D in the explorer of my old pc.
2. I copied everything to an empty usb-stick.
3. I put the usb in my new pc and opened it there in the explorer.
4. I opened here a new window en copied there again: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D
5. I dragged the content of the usb to this adress on the C-disk and started sweethome.

With no result, unfortunately.
And after these actions my old pc doesn't store the file, not on the C-disk or the usb. Even when sweethme on the new pc is closed. So now I can't go on anymore without risking losing my adjustments.

What went wrong? I hope you can help me out.

In addition to former threat: it appears that some items cannot be transported into the design anymore, they show a red cross. What is wrong en what can I do to restore it.

I think the red x usually appears when sh3d cannot identify the texture used, maybe the original jpeg file that was with the obj file has been removed, not sure but its a possibility

Yes, I think something went wrong when I tried to transport the library to my new pc. It also happens with objects I could use well earlier. But what went wrong and, more important, how to restore that?
And I hope someone can answer my question in thread Jul 26, 2019 2:08:35 PM above.

The red X might be also a problem of memory. Did you reed this FAQ article ?

Hum, Véronique, I think you mix problems.
hobbyrv, if some textures or furniture are missing / marked with red in the textures and furniture catalogs, it means that you didn't copy all the files from the other computer. Is there at at least a few ones you imported?

Copying to my new pc didn't succeed at all, see thread Jul 26, 2019 2:08:35 PM above with the 5 actions. But after the attempt to copy to the new pc, some furniture on my OLD pc, which I could use well before the attempt, has the red cross. Also the file can't be stored on the old pc. So my questions are: what could have gone wrong in copying to the new pc and what went wrong on my old pc. I hope it is solvable. Thank you in andvance.

For me, it looks like you did not copy the files from the old pc, but cut them out.
Do you still have the files on the USB stick? If so, copy it back to the old pc, right where you got it from.
