Command Line Parameters

You can start shapeXT with options most likely to change the program's behavior. You normally do this from a command prompt (Windows) or a shell (Linux). An option is a combination of the option name and sometimes one parameter.

Short Long Description
--dedicated-GPU selects the dedicated GPU for rendering
-h --help shows short list and explanation of the command line options and exits the program
--import-COD 1234567 imports a structure with the given identifier (1000000–9999999) from the COD
--integrated-GPU selects the integrated GPU for rendering
--reset resets all shapeXT settings
--software-GPU selects a virtual GPU (software rendering)
--log-to-stdout writes additional messages to stdout (terminal)
-v --version shows shapeXT version information and exits the program

Please note that the shapeXT installation directory might be different on your system. On Microsoft Windows the default installation path is C:\Program Files\shapeXT\. On Linux, the default installation of shapeXT can be found at /opt/shapeXT/. In case your installation path is different, the examples given here need to be adjusted accordingly.

Usage for Windows:

C:\Program Files\shapeXT\shapeXT.exe --command-line-option

Usage for Linux:
