Well, I think this is a classic error for what I've reading here. There are 1000 possible fixes and I tried them all and the error persist.
When I launch the application it opens normally and before I can do anything there is a popup saying "there is a problem related to DirectX/OpenGL, update your drivers blabla..." (can't reproduce the exact message in english because it's written in spanish, the language I use. I reinstalled the software in english and the popup is still in spanish)
I know there are a lot of threads about this with different solutions, but as I say I tried them all. I spent many many hours trying to fix this with no luck.
The program worked well with my old PC with an AMD RX480 in Windows 10 but now I have an Intel i5 12600k with a Nvidia RTX3060 (Win 10 also) and I can't run it...
Of course all my drivers are up to date.
I'm really desperate, could you please, anyone, give me any possible solution?

Re: Open GL error trying to launch
Check if you run the 32 bit version of the program by looking at the About dialog box. If it’s the case, run the installer again and select 64 bit architecture when prompted.

Re: Open GL error trying to launch
Try the Beta version of Sweet Home 3D 7.2. It comes with an update of JOGL, the 3D layer which uses OpenGL.

Re: Open GL error trying to launch
hi.. i´v just tried that fix that appear in faqs and.. works!!! thankyou very much!!! "If running Sweet Home 3D in 32 bit still doesn't work, download the file SweetHome3D.l4j.ini, copy it in Sweet Home 3D installation folder (by default, C:\Program Files\Sweet Home 3D or C:\Program Files (x86)\Sweet Home 3D) and relaunch Sweet Home 3D. The file SweetHome3D.l4j.ini tells Sweet Home 3D to use the DirectX version of the Java 3D library rather than the OpenGL version, but this option is available only in 32 bit (if you installed a JRE 32 bit, you may also click on this link to run Sweet Home 3D with Java Web Start and the DirectX version of the Java 3D library)."
