If we don't provide native support for the modeling application you are using, you may be able to export your file as an FBX, which you can then import into Prospect.
Here are some examples of applications that provide FBX export capability, and information that may be helpful when exporting files from these applications:
- Maya
- Standard material support only
- Use "Default Media and Entertainment" export settings
- 3ds Max
- Standard shader support only
- Support for FBX plugin versions 2012 - 2017.0.1
- Use Autodesk media & Entertainment (default) export settings
- Navisworks
- Standard Autodesk shader support only
- Support for FBX versions 2017-2018
- Use default export settings
- Blender
- No diffuse material support
- Support for FBX 7.4 binary version
- Use default export settings
In general, the default export settings for most software platforms will work well for an export to Prospect. All of the above software platforms support FBX cameras, which will be pulled into Prospect as viewpoints.
Please note that our FBX import currently does not support layers within Prospect.
If you run into issues with FBX files, please reach out to us for additional assistance and include the original modeling application you're using. If you're able to send us the original model file as well as the FBX export, it will allow us to resolve the issue quicker.
