FAQ

1. Where can I find instructions to use the app?

• Inside the application there is a help menu in the toolbar.

2. Where are my render folders?

• They should be found inside the root directory of the application.

3. What the scaling, why can I not see the points on 1x scaling?

• The scaling is based on pixels, so if your monitor is high resolution (ex. 4k), try using a larger scaling factor. This will also reduce cpu usage.
