Move Projects (Solved)

Post by mc_axe » 16 Nov 2016, 20:06

Hello i want to move my (U)ser projects folder to a different storage drive. It starts taking some significant space on that small system SSD.

Iv moved projects before by copying them on a new location and then i usually had to open a scene and Soft identifies new projects immidiatelly. But that way all non relative references usually break. Its not that big deal for new scenes, but it is frustrating when i visit old scenes after years and i have to search for files that i haven`t seen for years xD.

Just wondering if there is an alternative :-\

before moving your project, go to file-->external files and press "copy files to project". Then uncheck "ignore files used by reference models" and press ok.

Now all the files used should be present in your project. Then move it anywhere you want !
