Models

The Models page is where every 3D file you've added to your workspace lives. Models are the source assets behind every project - when you create a project or run a Quick Render, you start by picking a model from this library.

Reach it at Asset Library → Models, or directly at /library/models.

What's on the page

• Toolbar - Count of models in your workspace, search, the Filter menu, sort, a grid/table toggle, and an Add Model button on the right.
• Asset grid - One card per model, showing a preview thumbnail, the model's name, the values of up to two card-visible properties, and its processing status.
• Card hover actions - Favorite, more menu (rename, delete), and a click-through to the details modal.

A model card's preview is generated automatically once processing finishes. Until then you'll see a placeholder cube.

Adding a model

Click Add Model in the top right of the toolbar to open the Add Model dialog. From there you can pick one of two paths:

• Upload - Drop one or more 3D files (GLB, USD, FBX, OBJ, GLTF, or STL). Glossi converts and processes them in the background; you can close the modal once the upload starts and the page will track progress for you.
• Photos - Provide a few photos of an object from different angles and Glossi's AI will generate a 3D model for you to use in the studio.

You can also drag a 3D file directly onto the Models page to open the upload modal pre-loaded with that file.

For the full upload guide - what happens during validation, processing, unwrap behavior, and best practices - see Uploading Your Models. For prepping files before upload, see Preparing Your 3D Assets and the import guides for individual 3D tools.

Filtering and finding

• Search - Filter to models whose name, tags, or property values match your query. Search is incremental - results narrow as you type, so "navy" finds a model whose Colour property is Navy.
• Filter - One menu for every way to narrow the library. Pick a dimension to open its options, each with a count of how many models match:
  • Folder - Pick one to see only its models, or Not in a folder to find models you haven't filed yet. Create, rename, and delete folders from the same list; deleting a folder never deletes the models in it.
  • Properties - Every select property your workspace has defined (Season, Category, and so on). Choose one or more values.
  • Tags, Status, Visibility - Choose any combination.
  • Favorites - Only models you've starred. Click the heart on any card to toggle.
• Sort - Order by recency, name, or other model fields.

While a filter is active the Filter button shows how many values are applied, and each value appears as a chip under the toolbar. Remove a chip to drop that value, or Clear to start over. Save view keeps the current filters as a named view in the library rail.

To file models, right-click a model and choose Move to folder, or select several and use Move to folder in the selection bar. A model lives in one folder at a time.

Search, filters, and sort are kept in the page URL, so a filtered view survives a refresh and can be shared with a teammate.

Saved views

A view is a filter you want back. With filters active, click Save view in the chip row, name it, and choose whether to share it with the workspace or keep it to yourself. Pinned views sit under Models in the library rail; the active one is highlighted, and the chip row names it instead of offering to save again.

The Views row at the bottom of the pinned list opens management: rename, pin or unpin, share with the workspace or make personal, delete. You can delete your own views; admins can also delete shared ones. Sort is saved with the view.

Act on several models

Select models by clicking their checkboxes (shift-click selects a range) and use the selection bar:

• Set property - Give every selected model the same property value. See Properties.
• Add Tags, Move to folder, Replace materials, Delete.

Opening a model

Click any model card to open the Model Details modal. Inside the modal you can:

• Rename the model
• Manage variants - Add or remove model variants (different versions of the same product - color options, configurations) so you can render them through the same project.
• Edit tags - Tags help you organize and filter models across the workspace.
• Set properties - The values for your workspace's properties (Season, Category, and so on). See Properties.
• Share by link - See below.
• Delete the model

The full model page (click the model's name, or open it from the modal) adds the rest: the 3D preview, Properties rows for every property, Versions, and the download menu.

Share by link

On the model page, turn on Share by link. Glossi creates a public link and a QR code; anyone with the link can view the model in 3D and download the GLB and USDZ, with no Glossi account. The page shows how many times the link has been viewed.

• Turn the switch off and the link stops working immediately. Turn it back on and the same link works again.
• New link replaces the link with a fresh one; the old one stops working.
• Shared models show as Public in the Filter menu's Visibility dimension, so you can see at a glance what is exposed.

Embed on your website

Next to the share link, Embed shows an HTML snippet. Paste it into any page and the 3D viewer appears there, sized to the space you give it. The embed follows the same rules as the link: it works while Share by link is on, stops when you turn sharing off or replace the link, and its views count towards the same total.

Download

The model page's ··· menu offers Download GLB (the converted file the studio loads) and Download USDZ for iOS AR, where one exists. Every earlier version of the file can be downloaded from the Versions section.

Replace the file

Upload a new version from the Versions section rather than deleting and re-uploading. The model, its projects, materials, and showroom setup stay in place, and you can go back to any earlier version. See Model versions.

Deleting a model is allowed only when no projects depend on it - Glossi will tell you which projects need to be reassigned or deleted first.

Tips

• Upload in batches - The upload modal accepts multiple files at once. Drop a folder of products and let Glossi process them in parallel.
• Use variants - Group different colorways or configurations of the same product as variants of one model rather than uploading them as separate models.
• Favorite your hero models - If a few products dominate your visualization workflow, favoriting them keeps them surfaced in the Favorites filter and the homepage's recent-models rail.
