The builder-setting file contains the contents of personal settings for Vuforia Studio. Settings such as not displaying the WELCOME message and whether to read meta information when importing files. Is there any documentation that explains all the parameters that can be set in the builder-setting file?
Hi @Y.Moto ,
so far I know there is no such documentation available. The building-setting.json is a file which is intended for internal configuration usage. This means that changes in the builder-setting are not documented and they could be done to achieve particular functionality but they are not really supported. This means that the development will not pay attention to maintain this functionality on further product releases. The PTC development use default setting which should be ok for the most applications cases. When in some cases user have problems and could not achieve a specific functionality – in this case such issues should be reported to the PTC Technical support or in the community so that the TS could request information from Development team. The Vuforia Dev team will suggest solution possibly with setting in the builder-setting.json. Often these solution are temporary , are not general and therefore it is not recommended such solution to be added for the general Studio usage. Such internal solutions are provided to customer only when there is specific problem reported where the customer require a solution. Some special settings which are helpful for general usage are documented in the Technical Support Knowledge base as article or via PTC posts.
E.g. there below are some topics / TS Knowledge article related to the builder-settings.json:
1.) "enableDebugLogging": true - the option enables the Debug logging in the Studio settings
user could set the option "enableDebugLogging" also via Vuforia Studio UI ->Settings -> checkbox Enable Debug Logging

2.)Activate tracking event in JavaScript was not available on the HoloLens

4.)Embedding ThingWorx view app scan page into a browser is not supported
Workaround: an Experience Service could be called in a preview mode through URL e.g. :
https://<experience-server>/ExperienceService/content/projects/<project-name>/index-desktop.html?expIndex=0#/Home
workaround works for Studio Version 8.1.x with the default program setting
with version 8.2.xx and newer the workaround requires addtional settings in the configuration file : <Windows OS User>\Documents\VuforiaStudio\builder-settings.json
the following options could be set in the builder-setting.json file:
"publishPreview": true - allow to publish the preview to a browser outside the Studio environment

5.)for publishing Model Target experiences in On Premises

Thanks for the thoughtful response. @RolandRaytchev ,
The article you gave me was very helpful 🙂
Is there any way to change the default port=3000?
I was using Environment variable PORT=xxxx, but it seems that in 9.9 version no longer works.
Sorry... it worked...It was due to the Chrome version that didn't allow me to see the models: http://support.ptc.com/help/vuforia/studio/en/
