Upload the file in\u00a0OBJ<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0GLB<\/strong>\u00a0format, ensuring each file is under\u00a0150MB<\/strong>. Keep in mind that different 3D software tools have unique configurations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many free 3D models available for downloading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exporting The object may appear darker or flipped in street smart in respect to your 3d model software. Below are some tips and tricks to export your file correctly: <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Gizmo<\/strong> will be on the center of your object as defined by your 3d modeling software. If its not, redefine the center in your 3d modeling software and export again.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only GLB files contain colors. Currently our OBJ<\/strong> compatibility doesn\u2019t support materials<\/strong> just yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Different software tools handle lighting and shading<\/strong> differently. If the lighting in the 3D software used to create the object doesn’t match the lighting conditions in the\u00a0Street Smart\u00a0viewer, the object may appear darker.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rotation<\/strong>: Ensure the object is not flipped by setting the export rotation to +Y Up<\/strong> or -Z Up<\/strong>, depending on your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scale<\/strong>: Apply scaling transformations (Ctrl + A) to avoid unintended resizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grouping\/Components<\/strong>: Ensure your model is a single group<\/strong> or component<\/strong>. Multiple loose parts or ungrouped geometry may cause the model to display incorrectly or in multiple pieces. Use the “Explode” function if needed to merge geometry into a single piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n
