Joint libraries
To view the user's joint library, from the "Model" tab on the program's main interface, open the "Libraries" menu on the top toolbar, which is located within the "Project" section.
Next, select "Joints".
The window that appears displays a list of the joints created by the user and saved in the project currently open in the program.
The following is shown for each connection:
- Thumbnail view of the joint

On the right is a 3D view in which you can move, zoom and rotate the joint selected from the list.
At the top of the list, you will find the options for managing this user joint library.

| The information displayed in this window is similar to that shown via the "User joints" option within the edit panel for each joint. The user joint library can be populated by exporting the data for a specific joint from that joint's edit window (using the "Export" option within the "Library" section of the "Model" tab). Joints from the user joint library can be used when defining joints (using the "Import" or "Auto" option within the "Library" section of the "Model" tab in each joint's editing panel, or via the "Generate" option in the "Enter" section of the "Model" tab on the program's main interface). |
