Open the Preferences window from the File menu at the top of the screen, or use shortcut Ctrl + K. The Preferences window holds settings that allow you to configure Modeler to your needs.

The Preferences window has a number of subsections available as follows:

• General: Settings that impact all aspects of Modeler.
• Editor: Manage general Editor settings.
• Spatial: Configure VR specific settings.
• Desktop: Configure desktop specific settings
• Accessibility: Match Modeler's behavior to your needs.
• Keyboard: View keyboard shortcuts.

General

The General tab includes the following settings:

• Audio Volume
  • Desktop Volume: Adjust the volume of all audio elements while using Modeler on desktop.
  • VR Volume: Adjust the volume of all audio elements while using Modeler in VR.
• Enable Autosave: Toggle autosave on or off.
  • The autosave location is C:\Users\\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D Modeler\Saves\Autosave
  • Currently only a single autosave file is maintained, and the autosave file is overwritten by subsequent autosaves. This means that the autosave from your most recent scene will overwrite the autosave of a previous scene.
  • If you open an autosave file and attempt to save it, a "Save as" dialog will appear instead of overwriting the autosave.
