The Media Box

The Media Box is a tool enabling you to manage the individual images, videos, slideshows and 3D models you have created and to upload them to the Internet. It contains not only the media content of the design currently open but creates a folder for each design and within that folder structures the content according to category (image, video, etc.). One way of opening the Media Box is to click on its button in the Presentation group on the Presentation tab.

The following screenshot is of the Media Box when opened. It currently contains four projects.

A double click on one of the entries will take you to the media content of that project. The screenshot which follows shows the media stored in the Media Box for the project Apartment.

The toolbar in the Media Box and the context menu found there provide access to the Media Box functions. These are listed individually in the table below.
