===== Using Azurite =====



==== ...from the OBJ/X/B3D export mesh decimator ====

//Azurite// is opened from the 'preview...' button in the [[plugins:calc:atMeshDecimator|mesh decimator]] window when exporting a heightfield as an OBJ, X or B3D mesh file.

For more information, please see the [[plugins:calc:atMeshDecimator|atMeshDecimator]] plugin page.


==== ...from L3DT's menu ====

You can also open //Azurite// from L3DT's menu using the '//Extensions->Azurite->View heightfield mesh//' option. This will first open the mesh decimator window ([[plugins:calc:atMeshDecimator|described here]]):

Once you select your triangle count and click OK, the //Azurite// window will open and begin rendering the mesh, as shown below:
