In this article, you will be shown learn how to upload a 3D model into PAM and also learn to use assign a 3D model into a destination dictionary item and assign it to a 3D model. By following the steps below, you will have your 3D model ready to be added and viewable to the Explorer Map.

...

Note

Before proceeding, please ensure you have met the following file requirements to be able to upload the 3D model of uploading 3D models into PAM. These file requirements are important because PAM has specific requirements that need to be followed or the files will not work properly. and we recommend to follow them or risk your files not working properly / make your Explorer map slow

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

    • We require for all your 3D models to have a combined upload size of no larger than 1mb 

  • You can also have an original source of the file type of the 3D file may have been that’s a .3ds file. This allows us to convert to glb and manipulate if required

  • Users You can include colour on the model

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

Info

Using SketchUp to create or Download 3D Models

SketchUp is a free 3D modelling software program that comes with a built-in downloadable 3D models library called 3D Warehouse. Users can download SketchUp here

  • If users don’t have a 3D model, they can download 3D models by clicking on 3D warehouse

  • Open SketchUp > Open 3D warehouse > Search and select the 3D model you want to download (1mb Maxremember that if you are uploading multiple models, the combined total should be no bigger than 1mb)

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

Note: You can also download 3D models from other websites besides 3D warehouse as long as the file is exported as a .glb format.

How to upload 3D models

...

into PAM’s 3D assets library

Steps

1. In the PAM navigation menu, go to Library > 3D Assets

Info

Please note remember the file requirements: Maximum combined size of 1.0MB for all 3D models and .glb files only

4. Select the 3D model file

5. Click [Open]

Create Dictionary Category for 3D models

Steps

1. In the PAM navigation menu, go to Dictionary > Categories

...

3. Fill in ‘3D’ as the Identifier

4. Fill in ‘3D Models’ as the Category Description

5. Save changes

...

Creating and assigning a Destination Dictionary item to a 3D model

Steps

1. In the PAM navigation menu, go to Dictionary > Destination Dictionary

...

3. Fill in Display Copy. This will be the name of the destination dictionary

4. Fill in Natural Language (TAGS). This helps to make it easy to find or link to locations

7. Available to navigation maps. If enabled, this allows you to assign the location to a digital sign

8. Hide from search. If enabled, this will disable the location from being searchable in the Interactive Kiosk

9. Input 3D assets (add in the .glb file)

10. Save changes
