Use the Find option to look for ‘clampedToGround’ and replace it with ‘clampToGround’.5. Navigate to the main menu and go to File >Save to save the changes in the Notepad. 6. Rename the output1-Copy folder contained in the zip folder to output2 and then zip the folder back. The zip folder should now be named output2.zip.7.
