Phaedrus Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Greetings, How would one go about updating the the thumbnail found in the library for each model. I've used a base model and have changed it quite a bit but the original thumbnail remains in the library. Thanks very much in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 18, 2013 Hash Fellow Share Posted September 18, 2013 How would one go about updating the the thumbnail found in the library for each model. Welcome to the A:M forum, Phaedrus! I'm not a Library icon expert but this... orient the model in the model window to how you'd want the icon to appear, then >Create Icon and then resave model. I think that will do something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Robcat2075 Alas I suppose I should have mentioned I'm still running AM2004 version 10.5 I don;t see a Create Icon with the "right mouse click" in the model window. Thank you though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markw Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hi Phaedrus, I don't have v10.5 to try this but have you tried: Make a square image of the model you want to use for it's Preview icon. Go to the model in the PWS open the Property triangle, go to File Info and open that. Now on the Default Preview icon/perviously assigned image and choose 'Assign Preview Image'. Use the navigation window that then opens to find the image you wish to use. When done re-save the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 18, 2013 Hash Fellow Share Posted September 18, 2013 10.5 was a good version, much improved over what preceded it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phaedrus Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 wait, you guys have a library? Yes you have a panel called "Library". I'm at work now (no where near A:M) so I can't see the application but i think under the view menu option you can check off "Libraries". Here's a link on setting up additional libraries http://www.hash.com/lib/ Hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
