Terms

Assets are digital content files. These could be:

  1. 3D assets: static or animated. File formats include .obj, .stl, .fbx, .glTf, .glb, .usd, .usda, .usdc, .usdz, .ply, .dae, .zip, CAD files (.step, .stp, .iges, .igs, .prt, .sldprt, .asm, .sldasm), and more. We recommend using .glb or .fbx with the textures baked in. Enterprise plans include support for Adobe file formats, Autodesk file formats including Revit (.rvt,.3dm, .3ds, .a, .asm, .brd, .catpart, .catproduct, .cgr, .collaboration, .dae, .dgn, .dlv3, .dwf, .dwfx, .dwg, .dwt, .dxf, .emode, .exp, .f2d, .f3d, .iam, .idw, .ifc, .ige, .iges, .igs, .ipt, .iwm, .jt, .max, .model, .mpf, .msr, .neu, .nwc, .nwd, .par, .pmlprj, .pmlprjz, .prt, .psm, .psmodel, .rvm, .sab, .sat, .sch, .session, .skp, .sldasm, .slddrw, .sldprt, .ste, .step, .stp, .stpz, .vue, .wire, .xap, .xpr, and more), point clouds (.e57), Clo3D files (.zprj), and more.

  2. Video assets: regular or 360 degrees. File formats include .mp4, .mov, and more.

  3. Image assets: static or animated. File formats include .png, .jpg, .gif, .svg, and more.

A single asset is referred to as a Asset Entry, which has its own unique ID and is represented by a single Asset Card on the Content page.

Asset Cards

The Content page displays all 3D models, images, and videos in the project as individual asset cards.

Click the icon on the card to inspect the asset, download it, edit it, move it, and more:

You can share 3D models instantly by clicking which will copy a short direct link to the model in the from of https://go.echo3D.co/ABCD into your clipboard.

Hovering the asset card will reveal the icon that allows leaving a comment on assets or tagging team members. A notification indicates that comments are available.

Asset Window

Double-clicking the asset card will open a window with additional options and information.

The asset window allows you to:

  1. Preview the asset, its size, and its total polygon count

  2. Add annotations to the asset

  3. Share the assets with others

  4. Add, delete, edit, upload, or download metadata & tags

  5. View and edit AI-generated tags

  6. Edit the asset using the Model Editor

  7. Get insights related to the asset

  8. Review different versions of the assets

  9. Associate the asset with other assets in the collection

  10. View or update the target associated with the asset

  11. and more.
