 In this video about saving and loading settings for the inside the EcoTech environment, I'll take a look at how we can effectively set up your workspace to have an effective process of simulations for the inside EcoTech. I'm going to take a look at user preferences, libraries, setting up cameras, saving and loading panel settings, and setting up user scripts and user commands for your EcoTech environment. I have now opened the EcoTech environment and the first thing before starting any kind of project in the inside EcoTech, I want to go to files, user preference, go to general and make sure that all my directories are placed correctly. Please note that for radians it should be placed on the C, the C drive directly on the radians and for WinIR as well the C drive. You can also choose where to locate your global library, which is the library that EcoTech will use by default. You can use the modeling tab here to set up your sampling grid size and the default zone height and how rough your sketch accuracy will be and your selection highlight should look like and again how big your selection radius should be and to customize your canvas with the inside the 2D editor and the visualized. Go to localization and it's quite smart with inside EcoTech that you can load settings for a specific project working on millimeters or a Danish kroner or whatever kind of unit or cost you're working with or measuring dimensions as well as customizing the way that you look at volumes or temperature, energy, if you want to look watts per hour or whatever kind of unit you want to have your output in. Go to options and you can customize a lot of different things. For example, if you want to display your directional arrow when you select an object to see if it's orientated correct, as well as your snaps and how you can fix links within. The way that I want to look at this or fix links is by just hitting base plane equation and automatically fix links for alternative materials because if you select these two up here it will kind of merge a lot of geometry in your model. So the next thing I'll look at before starting any kind of project is to go to my element library and you'll see that with inside the model or project we have a lot of materials but if you have a library that you're using you can go to the model time and you can press this little arrow here and you can load element from another library into the model that you're working with to reuse some of the components that you set up already. So the next thing to understand that things like cameras are view or are materials as well that you can set up for different kind of visualizations and activate different kinds of functionality, your sun path, shadows or the way that you look at your geometry. So for example, if I'm working with inside a camera view and I'm activating transparency or cutaway section or whatever, I can always go back right click and say reset camera view and it will reset to original material settings here. So this is the way that you actually also if you want to make a cutaway section and then you can say right click and you can say update camera changes. So if you go to another view and you go back you'll see that it still keeps the same settings for the view. If you want to make a new material displaying this cutaway and this settings here right click and you can see this but go down to select camera and model and if you go to the material here you can see that it's deploying the material. Go to material properties and just write a new name here cutaway for example and apply changes so close and you'll see that it now if I go cutaway so apply change that will now give the view this new name okay. One other thing is you can do is you can for example if you go to your grid here and you want to look at your panel here in a different way for example looking at it without your grid lines you can go right click and say save load settings and you can save the panel data here to call this visualization grid okay and if you then put it back on and you want to see it from the same dimensions and settings you can load the panel later and you can go to visualization so okay and it will now set the view back to the same setting so that's quite effective way to make sure that your settings your minimum and maximum values are set up for the same values when you look at it or to make a cutoff to look at the daylight simulation on the ground plane or whatever. Next thing I've done is that you can catamage some user script so what you can do is you just say add edit toolbar button and you go in and you just link to the directory where these links are placed so let's go to go in on say for example animate shadows say okay and just say okay and you can load all of these save and load all of these settings again so now if you go back to say animate shadows you'll see that it's now animating the shadows from sunset to sunrise and you can do this with getting in or pulling in grid data or whatever kind of simulations that you want to have a look at so this is just a smart way to customize some of the functionality and speed up your process a bit thank you
