This topic describes the recommended workflow for creating, adjusting, and saving the foundations of a Showcase scene.
- Have your model ready
-
Showcase works by letting you import an existing 3D model so you can create a scene with it. Ideally the model you use was
designed with this in mind. Modeling applications such as Autodesk Inventor, 3ds Max, AutoCAD, and Revit are supported. For
interoperability guidelines, see
Prepare models for your scene.
- Create a new scene
-
Use Showcase templates to create a new scene from the Open/Create Scene dialog box. Templates enable you to quickly and easily
import a model and put together your scene, using preset environments and other elements. See
Use templates to import files and create a scene.
- Adjust import settings
-
Once you have imported your model, adjust tessellation and the levels of detail to give your model a professional appearance.
See
Adjust import settings.
- Adjust scene settings
-
- Save your scene
-
Save your scene and the files that go with it. Showcase provides options for bundling your scene files together for use on
another computer or drive. See
Save your scene.
