Processing

Processing is the action of your raw 3D file becoming a secure 3D web artifact. Raw file in, secure artifact out.

What processing is

You upload a raw 3D file. Processing generates a secure 3D web artifact from it. That artifact is what the viewer, share links, and embeds use.

How long it takes

Around one minute, depending on the original file size and your internet speed.

While you wait

You get a status update as processing runs.

You can set up share or embed during processing, but the model is only visible to viewers after processing finishes.

What happens to the original file

It is deleted after processing.

If processing fails

You get a message that explains what to fix. Common reasons include:

  • The file is corrupted
  • The file is too big for your plan, or too small (0 KB)
  • Textures are too big, or too small

Cancel or restart

To run processing again, re-upload the file.

What next

When processing succeeds, share or embed the model. That is covered under Sharing and Embedding.
