Checklist for 3D Modeling

Go through this checklist if you created a 3D model:

  • Are the settings of the sunshade type in all objects correct?
    For example, were the calculations of shadow excluded in your own source of light of the fixture body, clamp and head?
  • Do the names of objects have more than 8 characters (max. 8 characters)?
  • Are the names of objects unique?
  • Are objects made up of triangles only?
  • Has information got lost during export? To check if the information got lost, open the exported file using the modeling tool.
