# Using the SDK

## Echo3D.swift:

Defines a class “Echo3D” that uses various methods in conjunction to SceneKit that communicate with the echo3D servers.

The following methods are Universal for Usage in iOS development:

* queryDatabase()
* parseDatabse()
* parseEntry()
* getEntries()

The following methods load models from your echo3D project into a scene:

* loadSceneAtIndex()
* loadSceneFromFilename()
* loadSceneFromEntryID()
* loadNodeFromIndex()
* loadAllNode()

*Customize implementation in a non-AR capacity by using the first list of functions to access and work with assets stored on echo3D.*

## Entry.swift

each asset stored on echo3D servers is an “entry”. This file constructs a class with attributes and files relevant to accessing and working with each entry / file.

## ViewController.swift

This file supports constructing an AR scene using SceneKit that is populated by files / models / entries stored on echo3D.

*If you are not intending to construct an AR application, this file can be ignored / removed from your project.*

## RemoteTransformation.swift

Applies changes made to an asset's metadata via the echo3D platform to assets in your scene at runtime.
