Starting the Model Viewer

Create a shortcut to pioneer.exe. Edit shortcut properties, and add " -mv" to the end of the Target box, so that the whole Target is something like:

   C:\Users\jpab\pioneer\Pioneer.exe -mv

Then you can run the model viewer by using the shortcut.

Or use the command line (like Linux)
