Generate WebGL viewer files for 3D models

If an XML file with the same name as a non-published Smart 3D model file is attached to a design document, a label database file (.mdb2) is automatically generated in addition to the 3D WebGL viewer file (.binz). The label database file (.mdb2) is required for searching tags in a non-published Smart 3D model file using the Web Client. The Show hidden files option in the Change User Preferences dialog box must be selected to show label database files in the Desktop Client.

1. In the Desktop Client, click Find > Administration > File Type to open a list of all defined file type objects.

2. Drag the Smart 3D (.zvf and .vue) file type objects to the 3D WebGL viewer file (.binz) file type object to create a SPFFileTypeFileType relationship definition.
