Overview
Add 3D Objects to a 3D Slide to provide visual context, including markers, pins, mining equipment, and geo-referenced models such as ore bodies and pit shells. Add a Scale Object to communicate real-world distances.
About 3D Object Types
VRIFY Present includes four types of 3D objects. The type determines what customization options are available and whether the object can be repositioned on the slide.
Object Type | Examples |
Common Objects | Markers, pins, arrows, and badges (provided by VRIFY) |
3D Objects | Vehicles, equipment, and logos |
Static Objects | Geo-referenced assets such as ore bodies, infrastructure, and pit shells |
Scale Objects | Scale bar for communicating real-world distances |
