How to use it
You can open any supported model using menu File / Open or drag and drop the model file icon into the main window of Object Builder (tip: you may assign P3D file extensions to Object Builder application using Windows desktop).
You can make empty model using menu File / New.
You can save (save as) the file only into the P3D format.
Preview of model can be showed by Viewer Tool (Buldozer).
Viewer setup
parameters for the viewer.
Path to viewer (Commands in [] are optional; leave [] away when using that command): P:\Buldozer.exe -buldozer [-window] [-noland] [-cfg=PathToConfig] [-maxmem=1024]
-window : Starts Buldozer in window instead of fullscreen.
-noland : Buldozer will not load a island.
-cfg=PathToConfig : Forces Buldozer to use a certain config.
To run viewer correctly you need a Arma 3 successfully installed on hard drive. Using P drive tool prepares P: drive with buldozer.exe
Known issues: Running Object Builder directly from Steam may prevent attaching of Buldozer. Using shortcut or running directly from app directory is a possible workaround until the issue is fixed.
