Note

Before proceeding, the user needs to ensure they meet the following file requirements.

File requirements:

  • The final source file we require is a  .glb file  - must be under 1mb in size file

  • Original source file eg: .3ds file. This allows us to convert to glb and manipulate if required.

  • Users can use colour on the model

  • The file should be built to scale. (e.g. If a building 10meters tall in real life should be built 10 meters in 3D software)

...

  • If users don’t have a 3D model, they can download 3D models from a website called 3D warehouse.

  • Open SketchUp , → open 3D warehouse , → search and select the 3D Model you want (1MB max) and to download it.

  • Once downloaded, the user can adjust the size in SketchUp and then export 3D Model as a .glb format

Info

Note: Users can download 3D models from other websites besides the recommended 3D warehouse as long as it is exported as a .glb format.
