In this module we will explain how to prepare 3DShowroom Touch for work and accustom it the way it reached its top productivity and quickness at your computer. As well here you can find out how to sunchronize your 3Dshowroom Touch with the products at your website.
Installation
Return to topThe program does not require actual installation. All you have to do is just to unpack the archive file into any directory at your computer you wish. After it is done, go to that directory and launch a 3DshowroomWin.exe file.
Settings
Return to top3DShowroom Touch works with graphics, before it starts it is necessary to select the screen resolution and graphics quality. The last one implies the two parameters - quickness and productivity. Your task is to select the most optimal settings taking into account you system peculiarities.
If your system has an old video card or a built-in one we recommend selecting your top screen resolution but at the same time the "Fast" or "Fastest" graphics option. That will help to avoid the chance of
slowdown of program's work. If you wish the program screen to be windowed you have to select a corresponding checkbox 
to the right.
Synchronization
Return to topThe next step is choosing the stone colors used. There are two possible variants. The first one is to use the default stone colors, the second - the colors from your website. Now we will explain you here how it all works.
To be able to work with your own stone products in 3DShowroom you must be a registered user of our ERP/CRM system "Easystoneshop" at www.easystoneshop.com. There you can create an account and add all the stuff you have to your personal web inventory. In the process of registration the system will request your website address and later 3DShowroom will be able to recognize and load your added products when you enter it.
A detailed explanation how you can add your stone products may be found in our tutorial Starting your web Inventory or in the Help section.
After you made your choice you have to click on the "Next" button to proceed to the loading of the program and the update offer. You may accept or decline the offer by clicking on "YES" or "NO" buttons.
If you want to make the program work faster you should choose "YES". It implies downloading some files from the internet and saving them to your computer thus excluding the necessity of the internet connection. This procedure will take some time. As well you may chose "NO", save your time and go ahead, despite that the program will work very well.
The last step of preparation is the choice of the kitchen's type. There are four main types presented. Having done that the main screen of the program opens and you may start working with it.
Main Menu
This is the control panel of your design project. Here you will be able to keep the clients' wished stone products or edges even if they haven't decided yet what to buy, save their design or start a new one if they suddenly changed their minds concerning the type of the kitchen. Get some help and of course change previously selected settings.
