The Library is a place for organizing and storing models. It includes 4 different sections: Local Library, Cloud Library, Purchased, and Downloads. In each section, models can be organized using a traditional folder structure.
Local Library
Stores designs in the local file system. Any designs in the Library prior to MatterControl 1.4 are put here after the upgrade.
Cloud Library
The Cloud Library is a new option in 1.4 for storing designs that offers instant access to design files from anywhere with an Internet connection. Designs stored in the Cloud Library are tied to a MatterHackers.com account. Once signed in the user can browse and manage any design files previously added and add new files.
Designs within the Cloud Library are synced automatically across any devices the user is currently logged into and can also be viewed from the MatterControl Sync website.
For more information on the Cloud Library check out In Depth: MatterControl Cloud Library for Designs.
Purchased
Automatically contains any designs purchased from the MatterHackers Design Store.
Downloads
Gives direct access to the Downloads folder on the hard drive ~/Downloads on Linux/Mac or C:\Users\{user}\Downloads on Windows). Any STL or AMF files in that folder will automatically appear here. Any changes made to these designs in MatterControl will be saved to disk as an AMF file, either replacing the existing AMF or creating a new one of the design was originally an STL.
