The Catalog is Amapi 3D’s own file manager. Using graphical representations, it quickly and easily allows the user to store and retrieve documents from a library and to import and export documents. |

The Catalog greatly improves your productivity by graphically representing the contents of each of your files (which may contain whole or partial scenes). Selecting the graphical representation of a file in the Catalog and placing it into the scene will open the document for you. Moreover, you can erase part or all of a model using the Catalog.
The Catalog also manages the materials supplied with the software and also those created by the user. (See chapter User Manual/Rendering/Materials.)

There are two ways to access the Catalog:
· Selecting the “Catalog” command of the “File” menu.
· Clicking on the Catalog icon at the bottom of each tool palette:
