Use previous iteration checkpoint for 3DFlex reconstruct

How can I use other iteration checkpoints than the final checkpoint from 3DFlex training for 3DFlex reconstruct or 3DFlex generate? The video tutorial mentions that it’s possible but it’s not clear to me how (background: my training job crashed after running for several days because of lack of disk space and just connecting the final 3DFlex model output to the reconstruct job gives an error ‘UnicodeDecodeError: ‘utf-8’ codec can’t decode byte 0xc3 in position 23758430: invalid continuation byte’ so I want to try a different checkpoint). Thank you for any insights!

Hi @PSauer, after dragging the 3DFlex model output group into the job builder, go to the Outputs tab of the 3D Flex Train job. You should be able to select an iteration from the Versions dropdown of the checkpoint output, and then drag the ‘checkpoint’ output into the low-level input of the job builder.

Hi @kwang, thank you, that worked! Did not know I needed to drag twice. Thank you!
