Editing master_part_list.csv File

  • Fill the description field with your description.
  • To have a picture show up next to your description, preface the description with a texture (square, powers of two sides (16,64,128,256,etc)) in the following format: @path/to/texture.png@
  • Save the file as a csv file.

Example Row
