Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Oh! I've now deleted the Furniture.jar file (I had to remove the app from the dmg).
I tried to 'reuse' the Furniture.jar file as outlined in Puybaret's 8/14/10 post. I still can't get that to work right. When I open my resulting file with FurnitureLibraryEditor, it's empty.
Anyway, I just wanted to be able to change the categories and properties of the default furniture (like I can with the imported furniture).

I love it Emmanuel. It works great and it really helps build large furniture libraries. Thanks for the sweet tool!

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
I have a question about the editor:
The library editor has a checkbox for the doors & windows, will it have one for stairs too, now that you've so nicely made it possible for the stairs to punch a hole in the floor of the room? Or is that not needed?

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
There is a check box for staircases in Furniture Library Editor 1.6 released yesterday. For the most audacious users, there's even an accompanying text field to enter the cut out shape of the staircase using the SVG path syntax.
This shape should be closed and fit in a square spreading from (0, 0) to (1, 1) which will be scaled afterwards to the real size of the staircase. The default value:
M0,0 v1 h1 v-1 z
matches a square of that size, and will compute a hole in upper levels matching the staircase width and depth. But you can enter a much more complicated shape like the pie matching the spiral staircase available in the default catalog:
M0,0.35 h0.47 l0.375,-0.35 l0.088,0.118 A0.5,0.5 0 1,1 0,0.35 z
In case you enter a wrong shape, it will appear in red in the text field (but don't worry it won't make crash Sweet Home 3D if you don't fix it).
Good luck!

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
I think I just found a bug and filed a bug report.
Basically, what I've found (in 1.6) is that "Modify furniture" is not coming up, either when I double click on the piece of furniture, or when I right click on it and select "Modify furniture" from the menu that comes up with that.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Sorry, it was mnemonic managements that I didn't check (I could catch this error under Mac OS X because it's the OS I daily use and it doesn't support mnemonics). I just released again a modified version of the Furniture Library Editor with the same version 1.6. Hope nobody will mind.

Hi! I'm facing a problem on launching FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.7.jar When I double click the jar file or right click => open with Java, nothing happens. I'm sure that my 32-bit Windows 7 runs the latest version of Java. Here is the screenshot:
Looking forward to your reply, Thank you in advance :)

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Hi Puybaret,Hans and others
I'm new to Sweet Home 3D and realy like it, but for the moment, I’m not getting very far!
I have downloaded and installed the latest version of Sweet Home 3D (Version 3.7 Java Web Start). I have the latest Java version installed (1.7.0_09). And it works OK.
I downloaded FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar and when I double-click on it My Nokia Suite opens!
So I next tried to open the file with the same java file that Sweet Home 3D uses (javaws.exe) but I get a window “Application Error. Unable to launch the application” with two buttons [OK] & [Details] When I click on “details”: Under “launch file” it says “PK”. Under “Exception”, it says: JNLParseException[ Could not parse launch file. Error at line 0.] at com.sun.javaws.jnl.XMLFormat.parse(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.jnl.XMLFormat.parse(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.jnl.LaunchDescFactory.buildDescriptor(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.jnl.LaunchDescFactory.buildDescriptor(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.jnl.LaunchDescFactory.buildDescriptor(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.Main.launchApp(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.Main.continueInSecureThread(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.Main.access$000(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.Main$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) and under “Wrapped Exception” it says: Failed to find the '<' charater that marks the end of a CDATA element. Exception parsing xml at line 0 at com.sun.deploy.xml.XMLParser.skipPCData(Unknown Source) at com.sun.deploy.xml.XMLParser.nextToken(Unknown Source) at com.sun.deploy.xml.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.jnl.XMLFormat.parse(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.jnl.XMLFormat.parse(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.jnl.LaunchDescFactory.buildDescriptor(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.jnl.LaunchDescFactory.buildDescriptor(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.jnl.LaunchDescFactory.buildDescriptor(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.Main.launchApp(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.Main.continueInSecureThread(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.Main.access$000(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.Main$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
also tried to open it with javaw.exe – nothing happens! Also tried to open it with javacpl.exe – and I get the Java Control Panel opening! Also tried to open it with java.exe – and I get what looks like a DOS window open for about half a second, then nothing. Also tried to open it with jabswitch.exe – and nothing happens! There are other “exe” files in the same folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin) but none of them have the “java” logo.
I then tried, on the “run” command (Win 7Pro 64 bit): java -jar FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar and got the DOS window open for about half a second, then nothing.
I have read each entry on each of the three pages in the forum, but can’t see any other suggestions referring to my problem.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Don't use javaws.exe. Use java -jar followed with the full path of FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Thanks for the reply, Puybaret.
Got it - but not the first time! I thought it might help others if I explain what I had to do…
So as you suggested, I pasted in the run command “java -jar D:\Downloads\architecture_sweet home\FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar” (without the “” and got what looked like a DOS window for about half a second, then nothing.
I tried launching SH3D and then running the command prompt again. Still no better.
I then copied the file FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar onto the C drive and ran the command “java -jar C:\FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar” and it worked!
So either the file needs to be on the same drive as java **OR** my path was too long for the thing to work. Thanks again for your help. Best regards DamCar.
