Upgrading from Magic Bar lite or older versions

Upgrading from an old version of the AR Magic Bar takes about 2 minutes.

IMPORTANT: Although upgrading is a straightforward process, I would not advice to do it in a full on ongoing project without a proper back-up. As the AR Magic Bar is still evolving a lot, some errors could occur. Please do a full back-up of your project before upgrading.

Upgrading from Magic Bar Lite (Free version)

  1. Import the AR Magic Bar (Pro) from your package manager

  5. Remove the old AR Magic Bar Asset from the scene and drag in the new one (Magic Bar Pro)

  6. Drag the placeable object database into the AR Magic Bar

DONE :)

Upgrading from older versions of the Magic Bar → Preferred Option (Back-Up the Placeable Objects Database, delete and load in the new Magic Bar)
