3D Files
One of the formats already listed above. Please make sure, these files are not too big. If the files are too big, please divide them into several 3D files.
Control screenshots
It happens from time to time that parts are missing or not displayed properly. To make sure the files are loaded properly into our platform, you should provide so-called “reference screenshots” that show how the files should end up looking.
To create “reference screenshots”, just take a screenshot of your 3D software while the file is opened. Please take several screenshots to view different parts of the file, especially if it’s a larger project.
Used material
Send us all textures and materials used in a seperate folder.
Screenshots
Send us – if possible – more photos, sketches, drawings, renderings or CGIs for reference – this is required to achieve the same “look and feel” for the project and to be able to tailor materials and finishes to existing product visualizations that you use.
CAD files
For usage of CGIs and renderings
How 3D and CAD files needs to be prepared for import:
- Files that you get from architects are usually designed in 3D
- Almost all CAD tools have an export function
- You will usually find this function under “File ›”
- Click “Export” and select one of the file formats listed below as the output format
- Take screenshots of the object from different angles
- Send all files (exported files and screenshots) to Vuframe
Software used:
- Autodesk AutoCAD
- Autodesk Inventor
- Autodesk Revit
- ArchiCAD
- Nemetschek Allplan
- ProEngineer
- SketchUp Pro
- Navisworks | Revit | STEP
File formats:
- .DXF
- .DWG (3D)
- .FBX
- .OBJ
- .3DS
- .SKP
- .NWD | .NWC
- .RVT
- .STP

Renderings/CGIs as a reference
Depending on the project, please send us renderings of the exterior or interior.
Screenshots
Send us exported images of the 3D files out of your software as a reference.(Above you‘ll find an example of a 3D CAD drawing out of a CAD software before export to the .FBX)
