Upload Independent 3D Model

Users can also upload an independent 3D model in the supported formats that has not been generated via the PointFuse Cloud/Desktop workflow.

These models are often utilized as comparisons to the uploaded point cloud or for QC against the PointFuse generated model.

1. Select the Upload 3D Model button.
   1. Enter a Name.
   2. Enter a Description and Date acquired (optional).
   3. Toggle on Cesium Ion (for any models greater than 50mb - optimizes the model for web streaming). Leave off if the model format is Cesium 3D tiles.
   4. Source type - Select either CAD model or Reality Model/Surface Mesh. Select CAD model (by default) unless your model was generated from photogrammetric reality modeling software.
   5. Choose either Z-up or Y-up axis. (This depends on the software that is used to export the model)
   6. Source files - Add model files (ensuring they are an accepted format).
      
   7. Define the Source coordinate system:
      1. Select the 'same coordinate system as the point cloud' option
      2. Select 'let me select from a list of coordinate systems' and add the applicable coordinate system options.
      3. Select 'enter a proj string manually' (advanced users only).
   8. Select Create to upload and build the 3D model into the 3D Viewer.
      
2. The user will receive a confirmation email once the 3D model is available.
