Add a File Attachment to the Model

You can add a file attachment while viewing the federated model in the model viewer.

To do this, go to the 'More Options' menu while the model is open in the viewer and select 'Attachments'.

A layered screen will appear with an option to attach new files to the model or view existing model file attachments, if any.

To attach a file to the model, click on 'Attach' or click on the attachment icon at the top right.

It will populate another layered screen for selecting files and uploading them as attachments.

At this stage, you can directly drag and drop files from your local device storage as an attachment. Alternatively, you can select the files from your device by clicking on the 'Select File(s)' option.

If using the 'Select File(s)' option, it will open a screen to select your local files for uploading as model attachments (as shown below).

Select the required files and click on 'Open' to continue.

On the next screen, it will list out all files selected for attaching to the model open in the viewer. You will have an option to remove files from the selection by clicking on the cross icon, or add more files to the selection by clicking on the 'Select Files' option.

If you are choosing to select more files, repeat the steps for attaching files as mentioned above by selecting other files as needed.

Once you have selected the files required for uploading as an attachment to the model, click on 'Attach'.

A confirmation message will appear showing the file (or list of files as applicable) uploaded successfully. Click 'OK' to continue.

In case the files couldn't be uploaded, a message will appear accordingly.
