Creating a new project

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.

Add a model to the scene

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.

Editing models

Once your model is in the scene, you can use Campfire’s composing tools to create detailed scenes and flows for presentations.
