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

1. Select Simple 3D Model from the Type drop-down box.

2. Click Select File.

3. Choose the prepared .zip folder containing your Simple 3D model files.

4. 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.

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.
