Presets
A preset sets the map style, height, base, frame, dome or picture frame, and scene in one tap. Your routes and title stay as they are.
Set things up the way you like, then save them here.
Share puts a preset in Community, for everyone to use.

This model has no route to change
It was opened from an example or a 3D file, which only holds the finished shape. To change the route, terrain or frame, start from your own GPX or Strava route.
Tap a setting to change it, then update the model. Routes opens the step-by-step builder.
Routes
Several routes, such as a swim, ride and run, share one model, each in its own colour.
Details
Route colour
Each route has its own colour, so a swim, ride and run can be told apart. Print files use the nearest filament colour.
Changes show in the model when you update it.
Your model is ready. Next, pick a resin shape and, if you like, a frame below. Then save, share or print it from Share/Save.
Frame colour
Frame shape
The model stands upright in a box frame. Landscape puts the name, distance, climb, date, time and elevation profile beside it. Downloads and print files stay the plain model.
A frame, title and elevation profile can be added when you elevate your own route.
The frame sits around the base, with the title on the front and the subtitle on the back.
Changes show in the model when you update it.
Club logo
A simple one-colour logo works best (PNG or SVG). Its outline is traced, so photos don’t work well.
Switch on Frame and title to see it there.
It’s raised in the route colour on the frame, engraved with the name underneath, and drawn above the name on pictures and videos.
