Move the shots interface to the top of the display

You can edit the userPrefs.xml preferences file to move the shots interface.

  1. Close the Autodesk Showcase application if it is running.
  2. Using a text editor, open the file userPrefs.xml. It is located at:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\My Documents\Autodesk Showcase\userPrefs.xml
  3. Find the <option_preferences> section.
  4. In this section, add the following two lines:
    <option_preference name="shotUiPosition" value="top">
    </option_preference>

    (If these lines don't exist, or if value is anything other than top, then the Shots interface will appear in its default position along the bottom of the display.

  5. Start the application.

    The shots interface now appears at the top of the display. The interfaces for materials, environments and alternatives appear underneath it.
