Interface Overview
When you log in with your username and password, you'll see the scene featured in many of NearSolid's videos.
NearSolid's interface is designed to be intuitive and efficient, allowing creators to easily import, visualize, and adjust their 3D models. The main sections of the interface include:
1. Sample Projects
On the left side, you'll find a panel with sample projects. These preloaded designs help you quickly explore the tool’s capabilities or serve as a starting point for your own projects.
At the top-left corner, there's a button that allows you to show or hide the sample models for a cleaner workspace.
2. Main Toolbar
At the top, the main toolbar gives you access to NearSolid’s core features, grouped into the following categories:
- File: Import an SVG file to convert it into a 3D model. You can also save your model or full project (including Photomatch settings) as a
.nsolidfile. You can load an image to treat it as a 3D model too. Drag-and-drop of SVG files is also supported. - Get Model: Capture images of the model or scene, and export your design in formats like GLTF, USDZ, or optimized SVG. On supported mobile devices, an AR button is also shown, allowing you to view the model directly in augmented reality.
- Mode: Switch between the main working modes — Model, Scene, and Photomatch.
- View: Toggle rulers, exploded view, and wireframe display.
- Camera: Quickly switch between predefined camera angles.
3. Loaded Design View
The center of the interface displays your loaded 3D design. Here, you can inspect and manipulate your model with zoom, rotation, and translation controls.
4. Layers Panel
Located at the bottom right, this panel provides access to individual layers in your design. You can toggle visibility and make adjustments to different parts of your model.
5. User Session
On the top-right corner, you can find the user session area, displaying the logged-in user’s name and profile settings.
