Launchbox not displaying correct 3D Box

[desAus]

I changed the Box-Front image for a game but launchbox made that image the 3D Box as well replacing the 3D box that I liked.

As you see in the screenshots my preferred 3D Box is set correctly but will not show.

Any ideas?

What you're seeing in the games detail panel is the 3D Box Model (vs your 3D Box Image) which is comprised of the Box Front and Box Back (if you have that image as well).  Click and hold the mouse button on it and you can spin it around.

To not show the Model there, go to Tools < Options < Visuals < Game Details and un-check Show 3D Model.

Hi thanks the screen shot with the 3D box model selected as the 3D box was always the 3d model what baffles me is I am telling launchbox that is the 3D box but it is ignoring it and creating its own 3D box. How do I force launchbox to use that as the 3D box.

The 3D Box Model and the 3D Box Image are 2 separate things.  One can never directly replace the other.

The 3D Box Image is not one of the image types that will display in the game Details (right) panel.  Regardless of disabling the 3D Box Model.

In LaunchBox, the only places to visually see the 3D Box Image are:

• When you edit the game
• When you double-click one the of smaller images in the games Details panel (to make it show full screen)
  • press the left or right arrow on the keyboard until you see that image
• Select Image Group and change it to 3D Boxes
  • This will change the main (middle) section images to 3D Boxes (Image)

Thanks for your help, I don't know what happened but suddenly it all sorted itself out, going to do a crash course on images. 😊
