Importing assets into Adobe Dimension is a straightforward process, primarily focused on bringing 3D models into your scene for design and rendering. You can easily add models using menu commands or a simple drag-and-drop action.
The reference highlights two main ways to add 3D models to your Dimension scene: adding existing models (presumably from libraries or previously imported) and importing custom 3D models from external files.
Key Ways to Add and Import 3D Models
Whether you're using a model from your computer or adding one already available, Adobe Dimension provides intuitive methods.
Method 1: Using the File Menu
A standard approach for importing custom 3D models is through the application's menu system.
- Go to the File menu at the top of the screen.
- Select Import.
- Choose 3D Model.
- A file browser window will open, allowing you to navigate to the location of your 3D model file on your computer.
- Select the desired 3D model file and confirm the import.
This method, as stated in the reference, is how you "Import custom 3d models with the file import 3d model menu option".
Method 2: Drag and Drop
Perhaps the quickest way to get your assets into Dimension is by simply dragging them from your file explorer or desktop directly into the Dimension application window.
- Locate the 3D model file you want to import on your desktop or in a file explorer window.
- Drag the file icon from its current location.
- Drop the file directly into the open Adobe Dimension scene window.
The reference explicitly mentions this method: "Import custom 3d models with... drag. And drop from the desktop." It also generally notes you can "drag. And drop to add the model to the scene."
Once dropped or imported via the menu, the 3D model will appear in your scene, ready for positioning, scaling, material application, and other adjustments. You can then "single click or drag. And drop to add the model to the scene" if it was added to a library panel first, or it might appear directly depending on the source and workflow.
Using these methods allows you to quickly populate your 3D scene with the necessary objects to begin your design work in Adobe Dimension.
