    Tip

    (tick) Tip


    : Avoid giving templates or skins the same name in multiple folders. This is because if you use the same filenames, you may find it difficult to select the required file from drop-down lists, as only the name of the file is listed, not the full path.

In a similar way, you can change the mesh for an existing selected prop by selecting the Props tab, and on the Modify Setup tab, selecting the required mesh from the Change Mesh list.
