Prerequisites for Loading Models in the 3D Viewer
Converting to TrimBIM (.trb) Format
Converting to TrimBIM (.trb) Format
Converting the original model file to the TrimBIM format is a prerequisite for viewing models in the 3D Viewer. If you try to load a model that does not have TrimBIM ready, it will trigger the conversion process. This will lead to one-time delay for the user who needs to wait for conversion to finish.
The first time loading a model might be slow. After that, the files are loaded from the existing cache, which makes it faster.
