Overview

The Asset Library allows organizations to upload, manage, and reuse 3D assets across Prevu3D products.

What Is the Asset Library

The Asset Library acts as a central repository for reusable 3D models, helping teams standardize commonly used assets and avoid uploading the same models repeatedly.

Assets stored in the library can represent equipment, machines, safety elements, furniture, or any other 3D object that may need to be placed inside layouts.

Once uploaded, assets are optimized in the cloud and become available across the Prevu3D ecosystem, including:

• RealityPlatform, where assets are uploaded and managed

• RealityPlan, where assets can be used when creating layouts

Why Use the Asset Library

Using a centralized asset library helps teams:

• Standardize equipment models used across projects

• Reuse assets efficiently without re-uploading files

• Maintain consistent scale and orientation across layouts

• Share assets across teams and projects

This ensures that commonly used models, such as equipment, safety elements, or structural components, remain consistent throughout your organization.

Supported File Formats

The Asset Library supports common 3D formats used in engineering and industrial workflows.

Supported formats include:

Where the Asset Library is Used

Assets uploaded to the library can be accessed from multiple tools.

RealityPlatform

RealityPlatform provides the main interface to upload and manage assets.

From the Asset Library page, users can:

• Upload new assets

• View asset details

• Edit asset settings

• Preview assets

• Download original files

RealityPlan Desktop

RealityPlan Desktop can connect to the Asset Library to download and place models inside layouts.

Assets downloaded from the cloud are added to the local asset library and can be reused within the project.

See Using the Asset Library in RealityPlan Desktop to learn more.

Asset Processing

When an asset is uploaded, it goes through a processing step before it becomes available.

This process prepares the model so it can be efficiently visualized and used inside Prevu3D ecosystem.

During this stage, assets will display a processing status until they are ready to use.

Asset Scope

Assets can be available at different scopes depending on how they are created.

Organization Assets

Organization assets are available across all projects within the organization and can be reused by all authorized users.

Project Assets

Project assets are available only within the project where they were created.

In some cases, project assets can be promoted to organization-level assets to make them reusable across projects.

Permissions

Access to the Asset Library depends on the roles and permissions assigned to your user account. These permissions determine who can upload assets, edit asset settings, or download files.

To learn how to configure access and manage user permissions, see Roles & Permissions.

Licensing

Some Asset Library actions require an active license. Depending on your license configuration, certain users may be able to view assets but not upload or manage them.
