Hi, is there a way that I can move my asset files from (C:\Users\Public\Documents\Reallusion\...) to a different drive without reinstalling?. My C: is SSD and I like to keep it as free as possible. I keep all my 3D asset files on a separate internal drive that is frequently backed up to an external drive.  I looked in the programs, but I cant seem to find a setting or a way to browse to a new specific folder location (i.e. D:\... instead of C:\...).  I think I remember your default content file location being an option during installation, so does that mean I have to reinstall Iclone and CC to change the file locations of those libraries? I guess if I copy the asset files before the reinstall and then paste over the new directory after the reinstall I won't lose anything. I am just wondering if there is an easier way...None of the menu options in the content manager seem to do anything like this...thanks.

The quickest, and safest, way is to uninstall and reinstall the software. The user is asked during the installation where content files should be stored and can move existing content to the new location either before or after the installation. Purchased and custom content will not be removed during the uninstall, but default content will and this requires that the user reinstall these items after a new install. The Smart Gallery will inform you of any missing default content and you can reinstall it pretty quickly.

Thanks. I was just hoping there was a lazier way that did not invole all that reinstalling. LOL I'll copy the whole reallusion file out to some other external drive and reinstall Iclone, and CC, and the plugins, and the content. It's worth it to make sure everything gets backed up regularly. Thanks again.
