Associate a 3D Asset to a Catalog Item

Importing Assets

WARNING:
ZIP file limitations:
  • Uploading ZIP files will not show an import dialog box. The contents will get automatically uploaded to ThreeKit.
  • In case of duplicate assets with the same name, the uploader will create new copies with an incremental number, instead of updating the existing assets
  • ZIP files are not allowed to contain multiple 3D model files (FBX, glTF, etc.). Only one single 3D model file is allowed per ZIP, along with supporting textures
These limitations are only specifically for files that end with the .zip extension. They do not apply to files like .vrscenezip, .pbrzip, etc.

 

Add a "Part Reference" Attribute to a Catalog Item

NOTE: When using global attributes, for Part Reference/Asset Attributes, setting the Asset Type at the creation step insures Item-to-Asset compatibility.
