To install DesignWorkshop on Macintosh from the DesignWorkshop CD-ROM, copy the folder "DesignWorkshop® Folder" to your hard disk, by simply dragging the folder from the CD-ROM onto the hard disk. That's all there is to it!
(Note: Metric users should drag the "DesignWorkshop® Metric" folder to the hard disk, and Japanese users should drag the "DesignWorkshop Japan" folder to the hard disk.)
New Power Macintoshes already have QuickDraw 3D installed. To install QuickDraw 3D on a Macintosh, if it is not already there, open the folder "QuickDraw 3D 1.5.3" on the CD-ROM, then open the folder "QuickDraw 3D Install", and then double-click on the Installer application and follow the step-by-step process.
To install DesignWorkshop on Windows 95/NT, simply double-click on the "Setup.exe" installer application on the CD-ROM, and then follow the step-by-step process. The standard Windows installation of DesignWorkshop automatically includes QuickDraw 3D.
Note that the memory used by QuickDraw 3D (QD3D) is allocated to the System from the free memory when requested by DesignWorkshop. Application memory and rendering memory are separate in DesignWorkshop, and giving too large a memory allocation to the application can actually cause QuickDraw 3D to run out of memory unneccesarily.
As you move the mouse around, you can see the crosshair move around horizontally in the model space. If you push the crosshair out near the distant horizon line, you can see two of the crosshair axes get small. The crosshair is really "inside" the 3D perspective space of the DesignWorkshop model, not just floating across the surface of the computer window like a regular 2D cursor. Move the crosshair around the model space a bit until you get comfortable with it.
