Save and load configurations to a .upv file. A
configuration includes the current settings, clipping, colourisation,
view, tags, etc.
Load a colour file. You can choose between local and
online colour files.
Load a link file. You can replace existing links or
append the existing links with new ones.
Create a link and copy it to your clipboard.

Create a report.
Save objects to disk in OBJ format.
Generate a double-sided ISO PDF. This will create both
an isometric view and an orthographic drawing for better visualisation.
Open the manual.
Check the
file names you have entered before saving. There will be no warning if
the file name already exists!Save Configuration File
Choose which information to save:
Load Configuration File
UDiTH automatically loads a default configuration file. You can save a
custom configuration file as defaultConfig.upv in the same location as
the UDiTH.exe.
To use the
URI function the configuration file must be accessible from the machine
where UDiTH_Web.html is located. If UDiTH_Web.html is hosted on an IIS
server only configuration files located on the IIS server can be loaded.
To apply the local settings file use File > Load
Settings instead. Relative paths can be used to define the
location of settings files.Save and Load Objects
You can save selected objects as .obj file to edit them
with a modelling tool or to duplicate them in your model. Click on
“Import avatar from disk” in the additional objects
panel and then click on a location in your model to add it.
After that you can move and rotate the object.
These objects are treated as additional objects if you load them in the
3D view. You can delete them in the additional objects panel. If you
load them in sketch mode they are treated like objects from the
catalogue.
If you save objects as OBJ files there is a size limit matching the
maximum input size UDiTH can handle. If you export more than 20 objects
you’ll get the following warning message:
Before saving you can choose to swap the height axis
(Z) for the breadth (Y).
