vSite Admin Portal: Simple 3D Model Datasources
Overview
The Simple 3D Model option allows you to upload basic 3D models into vSite. While supported, this method is more time-consuming to position and configure compared to other data source types. Consider alternative formats if available.
How To
Adding a Simple 3D Model Data Source
To add a Simple 3D Model data source, go to the Datasources tab and click Add Source (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
Select Simple 3D Model from the Type drop-down box.
Click Select File.
Choose the prepared .zip folder containing your Simple 3D model files.
Click Save to complete the upload.
You will see a notification confirming the data source was created. The new entry will now appear in the Data Sources page.
Supplementary Material
Simple 3D Model Requirements
To ensure a successful upload, the following file requirements must be met:
Include .dae, .shp, .shx, .dbf, and .prj files for each layer.
Place all files into a single folder.
Compress the folder into a .zip archive.
Notes:
If the model is textured, ensure that the texture is included and compressed with the model into the .zip file.
Use Select File to upload new files, Replace with New Version to update existing files, and Delete to remove them.
Simple 3D Models may require additional effort to place accurately compared to other supported data source formats. See Alternative Source Formats.
