How To Update UI3

Best way to update the UI3 to a new feature version or a new Unreal Engine version.

General advice: Do not fix what is not broken! There is usually no need to update if you are happy with the project and you are nearing the end of it. An update may revert some of your work or it could introduce a new error. There is always a risk.

Switching to another engine version within a version group is easy and should not cause any problems in the project.

• Close the editor
• Open the Windows Explorer and navigate to your project folder
• Right click the *.uproject file
• Select More Options
• Select Switch Unreal Engine Version
• Change the version if necessary

You may not be able to go back to an older version once you made any changes in the project.

Data Tables

Data Tables live in the content browser and not in the scene. Any Data Tables that come with the UI3 project will be reset and all modifications will be lost.

That's why you should make a copy of the Data Table and modify the copy instead of the default one.

Recover Data Tables from backup
All Data Tables are located in ArchVizUI_V3 / UI / Data and could be recovered from there. Just copy them in windows explorer with the editor being closed.
This should only be a last resort! - Sometimes the data structure has been changed so check the data table after the recovery.

Check The Changelist Text File

Open your project folder on your PC. There should be a file called changelist in the main directory.

ArchVizUI3 55 change list.txt or similar

The latest entry at the top will give you the version of the project.

Migrate the Content folder from the downloaded UI3 project to your working project's Content folder as usual.

You'll be presented with a list of files that will be migrated. You can untick some files but that may break the update.
