#movingfolders #splittingproject  
Dear community,  
Over the time my project got to big and the program crashes more often…  
How could I split a project. Meaning putting ~ around half of the existing folders in a new project.  
Thank you in advance for your kindness & time.

Dear community,  
So I write the first time in my life a response & solution to my own post  
🙈🙊🙉 (I’m just a big fool - sorry for wasting your time)  
Bevor I brought my question here to the public, I tried several times to save & export different folders in the „home-file-type“ -shapr3d, what didn’t work.  
Now I thought I give another file type a shot and used „x\_t“ and surprise, surprise problem solved. Finally I where also able to find the body which caused the system crashes. (A simple angle profile 🤷🏽) .  
So all good now and I let the creativity flow again…

P.s. just to reduce the shame a little, like bit…  
it looks to me that the „.shapr3d“ type is the only one where you can’t select folders simply by making the others hidden…
