Adding Models

Learn how to add your 3D data to a Campfire project.

Add a model to the scene

Add a model by clicking on the 📁 icon in the top bar or by simply dragging and dropping a file from your file picker.

Campfire supports 40+ file formats of 3D CAD and scans. The model will be processed in the Campfire cloud and appear in the center of the scene when done. Processing time varies and depends on both your internet speed and model size.
