Saving and Working with Project Files for zForm

I discovered that the “Relative Paths” setting in Blender’s Preferences was causing problems when reusing saved projects. To fix this, please follow these steps:

  1. Open Blender and go to Edit → Preferences.
  2. In the Preferences window, navigate to the Save And Load section.
  3. Uncheck the "Relative Paths" option in the Default To section.
  4. In the bottom left of the Preferences window, click on the hamburger icon to save your preferences.

This change will be saved for all future project files. If you ever need to revert to the previous behavior, simply re-check the "Relative Paths" option.

Additional Note for zForm Users:
When reopening an older project in zForm, please note that the Mesh View option defaults to top view. You may need to adjust this setting manually.

Below is a snapshot to help illustrate these steps.
