Quick InstallΒΆ

Template3d can run from the python installation directory while allowing the developer to manipulate its functionality in individual projects. There are no required project settings other than the ones listed below.

Note

If you do not define STANDARD_TEMPLATE_DIRS in the projects settings.py file, templates will be used from the global installation directory. You can retrieve this setting with a python manage.py template3d -l and put your original templates there. These will be availible to all projects.
