Member cliveb Posted February 7, 2013 Member Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hi Everyone, I would like to change the folder location where 3d-coat saves temp files. At the moment if I work on a file with 8mb polygons, I run out of disk space almost immediately on C-drive. How do I get the program to swap/save to a different drive? Any help is greatly appreciated cliveb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Aethyr Posted May 19, 2014 Member Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 This is a huge problem for me as well. I have a 90gb SSD for C and hundreds of gigs free on another drive. Yet I cannot find a way to tell 3DC to use a different location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member polyxo Posted May 19, 2014 Advanced Member Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yup, I have a dedicated SSD just for temp files but unfortunately I can't tell 3DCoat to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
