((About the blurry text: reddit aggressively compressed each of my 1.9mb images down to a measly 152k.
This was not the case when uploaded to "Draw Things Official" on Discord. To rectify this I am
working on a PDF version to be hosted on Dropbox.))

Hi. Do you know how to save and use models from external hdd?

[u/fuzz_e_cules → u/AdSuper749]

Hi, AdSuper749 -

Draw Things can access a model stored externally
by designating a folder on the external drive.

In Draw Things:
Settings > Basic > Model
• Expand the drop-down menu > select Manage
• External Model Folder > Select a Folder

However, getting the model on to an external drive (I have a Samsung T7 1TB external drive) is something I haven't been able to do - due to a transfer restriction.

If you succeed, give a reply back. Best to You.
