Translating models

About this task

The model translation process may be run separately from the model uploaded. A model that has been uploaded, but not translated, has the following tile:

Procedure

  1. Click the tile to display the Model Translation dialog.
  2. Select a region. This is where the translated viewable “bubble” will reside. This may be different from the bucket containing the model.
  3. If the model file is a compressed file containing a set of linked files (see below), specify the base file name with the extension as the root file. This is the file that you would normally open to view the model set.
    The translation process may take a few seconds to several hours. The tile displays the progress of the translation process. Initially, the translation progress is updated every 30 seconds. After a few minutes, the update is less frequent. The translation process may be manually displayed and updated from the Bubble tab of the model details dialog (see below). If the model list is refreshed during the translation process, progress monitoring is halted. Progress can still be manually displayed.
