install sweethome 3D 7.1 on Linux Elementary OS
Hello, i have just instaled sweethome 3D 7.1 on my computer. I have exactly followed the instruction of this link which is linked on the official download page. I have currently these 2 issues:
the software interface menus are very big (see areas 1,2 and 3 on the picture) compared to the rest of the interface, i mean the menu icons: . The zoom-in and out icons doesn't change anything here. How can i improve this situation?
when i double click on a .sh3d file, sweethome 3D does not start. The archive software starts. doing "righ-click > open with > other application" lists all my application, but SH3D does not appear in that list. However, SH3D is installed and can be started via the applications menu
. How can i resolve this?
Many thanks in advance for your help,

i have tried today installing versions 7.0.1 back, then version 6.5 as well. The software interface menus texts are still very big, there is no change compared to my screenshot of the previous message.
My .desktop file is like this:
[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=Sweet Home 3D 7.1 GenericName=Interior 2D design application with 3D preview GenericName[fr]=Plans architecture d//'intérieur Comment=Interior design Java application for quickly choosing and placing furniture on a house 2D plan drawn by the end-user with a 3D preview Exec=/opt/SweetHome3D-7.1/SweetHome3D Icon=SweetHome3DIcon StartupNotify=true StartupWMClass=com-eteks-sweethome3d-SweetHome3D Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Graphics;2DGraphics;3DGraphics; Keywords=interior;design;2D;3D;home;house;furniture;java;
has someone an idea how i can make the menu texts size smaller?

Try to set the properties listed in the FAQTexts in the furniture catalog are not displayed correctly or icons in the toolbar appear very small on my computer. How can I fix that?

Many thanks. The FAQ says Under Linux, edit SweetHome3D script and add the previous options before -classpath Java option without line returns.
under Linux, the SweetHome3D script has 11 rows. The row 11 is:

unfortunately it has not brough the expected result. Now, all the interface is written in a huge size. You can see what a "normal size" would be if you compare the window's header (where the file name "sans titre" appears:

Re: install sweethome 3D 7.1 on Linux Elementary OS
Change the values you set!
problème résolu !
many thanks for the simple suggestion, at the end the proper factor was 1.0 :) in
resolutionScale=1.0
i have tried with resolution = 2.5 as said in the FAQ, then with resolution = 0.5, =0.75 and finally = 1.0
i haven't thought to set 1.0 because i was supposing that this is the standard value which doesn't need an extra specification of it....
here the rows 10 and the beginning of row 11:
# Run Sweet Home 3D exec "$PROGRAM_DIR"/runtime/bin/java -Xmx2g -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.resolutionScale=1.0 -Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel -Dswing.plaf.metal.controlFont=Dialog-11 -Dswing.plaf.metal.userFont=SansSerif-11 -Dswing.plaf.metal.systemFont=SansSerif-11 -classpath HERE REST OF ROW 11

Actually my initial point 2 has been "forgotten" while point 1 has been resolved
1) the software interface menus are very big [..]
2) when i double click on a .sh3d file, sweethome 3D does not start. The archive software starts. doing "righ-click > open with > other application" lists all my application, but SH3D does not appear in that list. However, SH3D is installed and can be started via the applications menu
. How can i resolve this?

Re: install sweethome 3D 7.1 on Linux Elementary OS
Note the location of the SweetHome3D start script. This is the script you edited before.
Right click on a .sh3d file Click "Open With Other Application" Navigate to the SweetHome3D script and select to open with that script. Don't forget to mark "Remember this applicatpon for sh3d documents".
From now on double clicking on a sh3d file should start SweetHome3D with the clicked file.
(This is on Debian but it's probably the same on Elementary.)
. The zoom-in and out icons doesn't change anything here. How can i improve this situation?
