How to Install Compounds and Graphs

For home use or personal projects, you can install compounds and graphs in your Bifrost user directory by following these steps:

1. Download the .json file for the compound, or the folder corresponding to the graph
2. Copy the .json file or the folder to the following path:
   1. On Windows: C:\Users\\Autodesk\Bifrost\Compounds
   2. On Mac OSX: /Users//Autodesk/Bifrost/Compounds
   3. On Linux: $HOME/Autodesk/Bifrost/Compounds
3. Restart Maya
4. The new compound(s) should show up in the TAB-create menu, and any new graphs will show up in the Bifrost Browser

For example, if your username on your computer is marcusn, and you are using Windows, your destination folder will be: C:\Users\marcusn\Autodesk\Bifrost\Compounds

If you are part of a team working with a shared library of compounds, you can install compounds and graphs to a shared location on a network or to a local copy of a shared repository. Visit Autodesk Knowledge Network for more on installing to a shared library.
