Opening Assets

To work on an asset from the active project, you must first open it. Only one asset can be open at a time, and the currently open asset is referred to as the active asset.

Open Via the Main Menu

You can open assets using the Open command or the Open Recent command.

Steps to Open an Asset Using the Open Command

1. Select File > Open.
2. Choose the asset you want to open and click Open.

INFO

If you attempt to open an asset from a different project, Foxel will prompt you to import the file first.

Steps to Open a Recently Used Asset

1. Select File > Open Recent and choose an asset from the submenu.

INFO

The Open Recent submenu displays only recently used assets from the active project. When you switch to another project, the submenu will show the recently used assets for that project.

Open Via the Quick Access Panel

You can also open assets quickly using the Quick Access Panel.

Steps to Open an Asset Using the Quick Access Panel

1. Click on the Open Asset button in the Quick Access Panel.
