Import files

When importing files into Hololight Space, organize them into dedicated folders. If you’re working locally, use the 3D objects folder.

This video provides a detailed walkthrough of the file preparation and loading process for Hololight Space, applicable to both the on-premises and cloud versions. It also highlights the convenient drag-and-drop feature, which lets you easily transfer files directly into your Space.

Open the file browser by selecting Load Object from the welcome screen, the Quick Menu, or through Space Manager.

Prepare files for Hololight Space

Before importing 3D models and other files into Hololight Space, organize them into the appropriate folders as shown in the steps.

The file browser lets you load files from various locations, but we recommend using the 3D Objects folder for easier access to skyboxes, annotations, and other resources.

  1. Open Windows search, type "3D Objects", and open the 3D Objects folder.
