Note

Before proceeding, the user needs to ensure they meet the following file requirements to be able to upload the 3D model into PAM

  • The final source we require for the 3D model is a  .glb file  - must be under 1mb in size file

  • Original source of the 3D 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)

Info

Using SketchUp to create or Download 3D Models

SketchUp is a 3D modelling software that comes with a built-in downloadable 3D models library called 3D Warehouse.

  • If users don’t have a 3D model, they can download 3D models from 3D warehouse within Sketch Up

  • Open SketchUp → open 3D warehouse → search and select the 3D Model you want to download. (1mb Max)

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

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