Upload 3D Models from Local Hard Disk

Follow these steps to import 3D models into Cintoo projects from local hard drive. 

Note that role assigned to a user in a Cintoo project must have Upload and Download Documents permission granted in order to do the following steps.

1. Open a Cintoo project where a model needs to be uploaded, and navigate to the desired work zone, or create a new work zone by clicking Add and then Work Zone on the top right.

 

2. Click Upload models button or select Upload models from local disk from the drop-down menu on the top right side of the screen.

3. To upload a model in IFC/DWG/JT/STP/STEP/NWD/OBJ format from local hard drive, drag and drop files or click to select model file location.

Note: please be aware that for OBJ format only mesh data is imported, texture and colors for now are not supported.

Selected files will appear in the list, click Upload to begin the transfer. Email notification is sent once the model is ready to be viewed in Cintoo. 

• Uploading DWG files that only contain 2D CAD lines (no 3D geometry) is also supported using this process.
• When exporting IFCs from Revit, in IFC export setup options:
  • Under Advanced, make sure to Include IFCSITE elevation in the site local placement origin.
  • Under Level of Detail make sure to select the appropriate level of detail for the model geometry.
