Uploading model

Procedure

  1. Click the Upload Model button.
    This displays the Upload Model dialog. The model is uploaded into the currently active bucket.
  2. Select a model file to upload.
  3. Select the Also Register Viewable? checkbox on the model to automatically submit to Autodesk Platform Services for translation and eliminate the need to manually perform the viewable translation process.
  4. Select a region. This is where the translated viewable “bubble” will reside. This may be different from the bucket containing the model.
  5. Enter the file name under Root file name.
    If the model file is a compressed file containing a set of linked files, specify the base file name with the extension of the root file. This is the file that you would normally open to view the model set.
  6. Click OK and you are returned to the Model tab.
    • A tile is added for the new model as the first tab in the model list. If the model list is refreshed while an upload is in progress, the monitoring tile is lost. However, if the upload is successful, a normal model tile is available for display when it is complete.
    • If Also translate to viewable is selected, when the upload is complete, the translation process is started. This 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, the tile is displayed in its normal position in the list instead of first and the progress monitoring is halted. Progress can still be manually displayed.
