Opening Assets

To work on an asset, you must first open it. Only one asset can be open at a time.

Assets are opened from the currently open project.

Open from the Main Menu

You can open assets using Open or Open Recent.

Open an Asset

1. Choose File > Open.
2. Select the asset you want to open.
3. Click Open.

INFO

If you try to open an asset from a different project, Foxel will ask whether you want to import it first.

Open a Recently Used Asset

1. Choose File > Open Recent.
2. Select an asset from the submenu.

INFO

The Open Recent submenu only shows recently used assets from the current project. When you open a different project, the list changes accordingly.

Open from the Header Bar

You can also open an asset from the Header Bar.

1. Click the Open Asset button in the Header Bar.
2. Select the asset you want to open.

Open from the Assets Page

Assets of the current project are listed in the right panel of the Assets page.

1. Switch to the Assets page.
2. In the right panel, locate the asset you want to open.
3. Double-click the asset.

Open from Windows Explorer

You can also open an asset directly from Windows Explorer. If Foxel is not running, it will be started automatically.

When opening an asset this way, Foxel attempts to locate the project the asset belongs to. If no valid project can be found, Foxel opens the last project that was used.

1. Locate the asset file.
2. Double-click the file.
