This defines the format of the unique ID for each Item created in that particular folder. Specifying the folder type – its intended use – gives a visual indication of the content of that folder when browsing the Workspace.Īnother important aspect of the parent folder is the Item Naming Scheme employed for it. To nominate a folder's use as a container for 3D model, set its Folder Type as 3D Models, when defining the folder properties in the Edit Folder dialog. It simply provides a visual 'clue' as to what is stored in a folder and can be beneficial when browsing a Workspace for particular content. This has no bearing on the content of the folder – uploading will always result in a 3D Model Item. When creating the folder in which to store 3D models, you can specify the folder's type. Once a 3D model has been created within the Workspace (and data uploaded into a revision of it), it can be reused in future board-level design projects. Used in a similar fashion to file-based linked 3D models, a 3D Model Item can hold a 3D model file, that is then referenced through a 3D body attached to a standard 2D footprint.
