User Defined Preset Templates

The User-Defined Preset Templates feature allows you to efficiently save and load visibility options to and from any Stereonet 2D, Stereonet 3D, or Rosette view on your local machine.

Save Preset

To save the preset options of the current view:

1. Select User-Defined Preset Templates > Save Preset from the Stereonet 2D, Stereonet 3D, or Rosette ribbon.
2. In the Rename dialog, specify a Preset Template name. A default name "View Template (1, 2, 3, ...)" is automatically populated.
3. Click OK to save the preset.

The Preset's Name can be renamed in the Preset Manager later, if needed.

Load Preset

To load a previously saved preset from your local machine to the current active view:

1. Select User-Defined Preset Templates > Load Preset dropdown from the Stereonet 2D, Stereonet 3D, or Rosette ribbon. You will see a list of previously saved Presets to select from.
2. Select a Preset to Load.

Specific visibility toggles and properties for entities will be automatically updated.

Preset Manager

The Template Manager dialog shows a list of Preset Templates available on your local machine and options to Rename and Delete Preset Templates that were previously saved.

Preset Templates can also be imported or exported:

• For Stereonet 2D view Preset Templates, the file extension is .stereonet2dviewtemplate
• For Stereonet 3D view Preset Templates, the file extension is .stereonet3dviewtemplate
• For Rosette view Preset Templates, the file extension is .rosetteviewtemplate

The Import or Export feature is convenient for sharing Preset Templates across different machines.

To manage Preset Templates on your local machine:
