Advanced Member alvordr Posted January 13, 2022 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Is there a way to change where default data is stored? I don't mean where you save an actual file, but I see my Documents has 3D Coat data in it and I prefer to keep as much of my C drive free as possible. For instance, I have a 3DCoat-2021 folder in the Documents folder I didn't put there that is taking up the most space in that directory and it's in the gigabytes.

Advanced Member alvordr Posted January 14, 2022 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Oh, sorry. I wasn't sure how to search for this one. While I found the option to move the data, I didn't realize it would reset my preferences and not actually delete the old folder. That's useful for someone to know before they do this.

Advanced Member alvordr Posted January 14, 2022 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) I'm still having an issue anyway. I freed up 15Gb on my main drive, opened 3D Coat to my most recent file. I added a 2000(X) x 2000(Y) box and placed it, only to have my free space drop suddenly to 253Mb. 3D Coat crashed and wanted to close. When I closed 3D Coat, it brought me up to 5Gb and then after emptying my temp folder, it gave me 10Gb. I should have 15Gb. What is 2021.70 doing that's causing this?

Advanced Member alvordr Posted January 14, 2022 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 This might be as a result of some other program. I'm still troubleshooting this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hi You may relocate 3DCoat's data folder in this dialog. Usually it is in MyDocuments, but you may place it in any other location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
