In order to view shapes in the ShowTool, the shape and texture files must reside in a directory inside the Torque project.
Copy simpleShape.dts and simpleTexture.png into a shape directory in the Torque project. If you are using the demo, you can place the files in demo\data\shapes inside the Torque example directory.
The ShowTool can be accessed by putting the argument -show when you launch the application. This can be done from the command line, but it is easier to just add the switch into a shortcut.
After launching the ShowTool, you will see a black screen with several buttons on the left-hand side.
Click the Load Shape button, select simpleShape.dts, then click the Load button.
You can navigate around the shape by using the W, S, A, D, E, C, X, and Z keys.
W: zoom in
S: zoom out
A: rotate left
D: rotate right
E: rotate camera up
C: rotate camera down
Z: rotate camera left
X: rotate camera right
When you are finished viewing the shape, click Quit to close the ShowTool.
