About models and versions in Workshop XR

Every model in Forma can have multiple versions. Workshop XR works with a specific version of a model, not the file as a whole.

By default, Workshop XR uses the latest available version. You can review and share any earlier version. Non-latest versions are labeled Not current in the version picker and file browser.

Uploading models in Forma

Upload and manage your models in Forma before using them in Workshop XR. Models you upload are immediately available in Workshop XR. See Upload and Manage Files.

Working with model versions

To view available versions

  1. Open Forma Data Management from within Workshop XR. In VR, start from the Files console on the Core Menu. On the web, use file management from the active session.
  2. Browse all available versions of the model.

To share a specific version

  1. In Forma Data Management, select the version to share.
  2. Share it into the workshop.

You cannot share a version that is corrupt or has not finished processing.

Version status

Non-latest versions are labeled Not current in the version picker and file browser. New workshops always use the latest version by default.

Measurements and model versions

Important: Measurements are tied to the specific model version they were created in.
  • Measurements remain when you view or share that same version.
  • Measurements do not carry over to newer versions of the model.
  • Measurements do not transfer between workshops.
