Hello, there! I am a beginner of this software, and I would like to use my own 3D models to do virtual commissioning in Factory I/O, but I notice that generally we have to use models in the library, can we create our own 3D models? How to do that?

Hi. Currently, it is not possible to create or import your own 3D models into Factory IO.

Hello,

Do you have any plan to import 3d models?

If my last information I got from the developers is correct, there are plans to make it possible to import your own 3D models. Is that correct @brunovgr?

Hi @gulgorengin and @janbumer1

Yes, we are working on that feature. The idea is to provide something simple that works for most users. Importing 3D meshes is straightforward, but adding physics (colliders, joints, etc.) can quickly become complex.

I am also looking for the same feature too. Is the feature to import 3D models available now?
