Where is the Library? i'd like to back it up

Post by JFrankParnell »

I'm currently using the beta 12, launching it from the web. I'd like to know how the furniture library is stored so i can back it up (with all the models i've imported). Would that be possible, say if i reformatted the computer, then launch 2.3b12, then i could overwrite the stock library with my backup?

thanks
J

Version 2.3 lets you group furniture added to home, not furniture in the catalog, so this should not be a problem...

and I think i read somewhere that saving a home saves all the models in it. So, is it safe to say that if you have a backup copy of your latest home, you effectively have a backup of your furniture library, all imports and all groups?

Frank:

NO.

When you save a home you have a copy of the models used in that home only.
