Runtime Settings Files

The app creates, seeds, or upgrades JSON files as needed. Use Settings Folder to open the runtime user settings directory. Back up files before hand-editing them.

  • Runtime user settings are stored under the app user settings folder when available.
  • Deployment defaults are read from {AppRoot}/DefaultSettings.
  • When a user settings file is missing, the app looks for a file with the same filename in {AppRoot}/DefaultSettings and copies it into the user Settings folder.
  • After a user settings file exists, that user file overrides the default seed file. Changing {AppRoot}/DefaultSettings later does not overwrite existing user settings automatically.
  • This is intended for shared or centrally deployed installs: an IT admin can place first-run defaults in the app DefaultSettings folder, while each user keeps their own overrides.

Supported base user/default filenames include:

  • ModelVistaLibraries.json
  • ModelVistaAppSettings.json
  • ModelVistaCameraSettings.json
  • ModelVistaXrAlignmentPresets.json
  • ModelVistaCameraPresets.json
  • ModelVistaAdjustmentPresets.json
  • ModelVistaColorAdjustmentVolumes.json
  • ModelVistaProceduralBackground.modelvista.json
  • ModelVistaProceduralBackground.modelvista-graphics.json Module-specific settings and schemas are documented in the separately delivered Module manuals.
