Content in Campfire is organized by projects with one or more scenes. On your PC, Mac, or iPad, open the Campfire app and click on New Project
. This will create a project and take you to a blank scene.
<aside> 💡 You can create up to 5 new projects with a Campfire Starter plan for free. **Upgrade to Campfire Enterprise** if you need more.

Add a model by clicking on the Folder
icon in the top bar and choose your file in the 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.
<aside> 💡
You must have an Enterprise plan in order to access all 40+ formats. Compare Starter and Enterprise plans.

Once your model is in the scene, you can use Campfire’s composing tools to create detailed scenes and flows for presentations.
Select your model and toggle between the move, scale, and rotate gizmos at the bottom of the screen to position your model in the scene.

💡 You can copy and paste models using familiar keyboard shortcuts ctrl/⌘+C
and ctrl/⌘+V
. Read the Keyboard Shortcuts article for more.

Use the model hierarchy to select specific parts of a model, and hide or show them using the eye
icon.
To apply materials, use the inspector panel on the right side of the screen, and switch to the Materials
tab. Simply drag and drop materials and colors onto parts of your model to apply them.
