Create a visualization for a CAD model

When a CAD file is checked into Upchain, visualization is automatically generated for it so that the CAD model can be viewed in the 3D Viewer.

You can monitor the progress of the visualization in the Visualization column in a project's BOM table.

• While generation of visualization is in-progress, you'll see the Conversion in progress icon.
• Once the visualization is ready, you'll see the Conversion is complete icon.

If visualizations were not generated at the time of check in, then you can manually generate a visualization for a part or an assembly.
