Notice
All the features described below may not be present in your software edition: Community, Premium, Essential, or Enterprise.
The first step consists of loading into Patchwork Explorer the KDR file previously created in Patchwork 3D Enterprise in which are located the different products you want to compare.
To do this, go to the File menu, click on Open or use Ctrl + L keys, then load the KDR file you want to use.
Note
For this tutorial, we will use the AeroSeat.kdr database which you can download here.
