Do not add a 'deep' folder, such as your Documents folder, as a library. Yes, it will find everything, but it will be slow. For efficiency, libraries should contain mostly relevant files and little more. |

- Check the Log and identify the file. It will be located just after the blue-highlighted ERROR lines.
- If you know what library the file resides it, simply add a new search path to that library.
- If you do not know, click on the Log entry with the filename. It will appear in copy-able form in the text box below the Log list. Select the filename here, then paste it into your preferred file-find utility and proceed to search. When found, move it to an existing library, or add a new library reference, as appropriate.

Using the Resource Manager Effectively
A Common
...
(and Easy) Approach
- Keep one (or more) general resource library on each computer, containing all your IES, MXMs, HDRs, etc. organized in folders as you see fit. This is where resources common to many projects can be kept and shared. Unless you have thousands of resources, it is not necessary to link one library to MXMs only, one to HDRs only, etc. In the screenshot above, adding a single library path to 'Modeling Resources' will suffice to fix everything.
- Keep any project-specific resources in the project's 'Resources' folder. If you decide later that a something is best kept in the general library, just move it there; the path will be corrected on the next render (as long as there is a reference to that general library).
