Creating the Content Folder

When you first run the software, SOLIDWORKS Visualize prompts you for a location to create a Content folder.

The Content folder contains the following subfolders where you can store assets for your projects:

Subfolders	Stores
Cameras	Default cameras and cameras that you have saved
Environments	High dynamic range (HDR) images
Palettes	Exported palette files
Images	Renderings and snapshots
Appearances	Materials in your Appearance library The contents update when you add an appearance to the library.
Models	Model files By default, SOLIDWORKS Visualize searches this folder first when you use File > Import a model.
Plates	Standard 2D images for use in backplates
Projects	Native project files in .SVP format
Textures	2D textures for use in appearances

Search 'Creating the Content Folder' in the SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base.
