Why Can't I Make Changes to My Data After Importing It from a Portable Hard Drive or Another Workstation?
If your dataset is still linked to a source file located outside the Volocity library (e.g., on a portable hard drive), you will not be able to perform permanent changes, such as creating an image sequence or cropping data. The dataset must be adopted by Volocity to enable these changes.
Steps to Adopt Data in Volocity:
- Select the dataset thumbnail in the Library window.
- Go to the Actions menu and select Adopt Items.
- Volocity will locate the source file(s) and adopt the data, incorporating it into the Volocity library.
Once the dataset is adopted, you will be able to make permanent changes within Volocity.
